So much can happen in a day.
A lot of interesting conversations took place...a lot of fun times were had...and a lot of serious contemplation occurred.
Today was a mixture of emotions.
I am feeling so much for someone who found out something shocking this weekend.
I realized that sometimes I need to be more confrontational.
I laughed a lot at myself and with friends.
I realized how much like the Israelites I truly am.
I watched a TV show that made me sick...to think of how ridiculous, petty, selfish, and crazy some people live.
Yet, I need to learn to respond to every situation with prayer. If I don't like how someone is being treated or is acting, I need to lift it up to God. If I know I need to say something to someone, I need to ask God for wisdom on how to say it graciously. When I'm realizing how many times I turn my back to the ways of God and how much I hate it, I need to ask Him for the help to stop doing it. And, when I see things that make me sick, I need to pray for those people.
Too often, I just vent to Josh or someone else about these things. I know many of us are probably guilty of that...but that doesn't make it right. God put these people in my life for a reason, for sure. But, He knows the best way to handle things and gives the best advice...so why would I go to someone else first?
I really do want to pray more often. I really do want that to be my first thought when something comes up. I really do want to depend on God more. I think prayer is going to be my focus this year. I really want it to be an automatic response in every situation.
On to another day...
I hope my actions look a little more like Christ's this time around.
