Some thoughts

Got some thoughts rolling around in my head so I thought I would share them:

What are we hear for? Do you ever wrestle with that question? In this the year 2011, we have so many distractions, responsibilities, events to fill our calender, people to catch up with, and social sites to update, that we often lack the time to ask such important questions. Often times I'm so busy trying to make sure everything in my life is just the way I want it to be I forget that it's not about me at all! God didn't put me on this earth to live a happy worry-free life! NO! He put me here to serve Him and bring Him glory! ALL the days of my life!

Lately I've been struggling with loneliness, a selfish loneliness. I say selfish because I have no reason to be lonely, but it's easier to be lonely than it is to work to not be so. But in my selfish loneliness,  my sweet Savior is always there reminding me that He loves me and that's all that matters! 

Adoption, I can't blog without mentioning this! I am so ready to adopt! God is definitely teaching me patience, and also how to pray for children that I have never met. He's got big plans, I just have to wait and see what they are! 

Another lesson God has been teaching me is how to forgive, truly forgive. This is a lesson I thought I had learned long ago when I was little, but oh no! There is much more to forgiveness than I had ever realized. He's teaching me and helping me to break free from the bondage that the lack of forgiveness brings. 

That's all for now, I'm gonna try and write every Monday night, stay tuned:)
