The beloved pose... it is completely nothing to do with this blog outing, other than to be a ploy. How ironic though that I am blogging about the ploys in my life.
Have you ever masked yourself, I have many time, now that I think about it, with Halloween coming up it goes with that too.
This weekend at Exalt! it was great...Probably the most enjoyable one I have had since being at Exalt as a youth. It was the first time that I saw all of my friends all interacting together as a body, as a Church for Christ. God's Presence was known. There were tears shed, people broken but put back together, and most of all God's presence was there.
My mind has been plagued with worries of many things, such as will I be alright to go back to things when this is over, will I have the strength to talk to people about feelings that I have, will I express them.
Sometimes I wonder if intentionally a hide things on my mind. With God's help, finally I got lots off of my mind this weekend and because of that I have reason to rejoice!...Seems like everytime I blog things come back to God, or somehow they always come to rejoicing.
This is something that is on my mind too, through all that happens, and boy do I love God. God has worked in those around me dramatically and it has truly been amazing to see both the influence they had from me and the influence of them to others.
The conclusion I came up with of why my worries, problems, and all that I keep from the world always come back to God or rejoicing is simply because if you combine the two you have a duo that creates truth, the truth being that if you have God "why should we not rejoice?."
I am not always happy, although at the moment circumstances that probably should have made me depressed, angry or even discusted with God... They have only drawn me closer to His word. I praise God for all that He has worked in me to do. The conclusion I have drawn is that with a healthy relationship with God, also comes a healthy relationship with others. I have also realized that God works all out to His will and because He works in this way I am Happy!.
My prayer life has been terrible as of the last couple of months or so, but I am beginning to realize that I need to become closer to God, therefore it is my decision to at all costs put Christ first, and by putting Christ first I will be making the greatest decision I could ever make.
Prayer is great, anyone reading this post that needs prayer, I will pray for you, it is my prayer that you will keep me in yours...And in doing so grow closer to the one who Loves all, and has shown a clear image of His Love for us in His Son Jesus Christ.
