Life's greatest lesson

Hello my dears! As some of you know, I'm getting really sick of glasses. Originally, I was gonna wait till my 15th birthday for contacts, (you see, my mother promised them as a birthday present) I was soooo excited, but now they've been paying for a lot of car stuff because they keep breaking down, so being the "sweet" daughter I am I decided to save up for them my self. It was going pretty well, too! Until my employer didn't pay me as much as she was going to. That hurt, a lot, knowing that my plans fell through. I felt so mad. Plus the "Luke" in my life had been on my mind a lot lately. Hadn't the Lord asked me the same question over and over in my heart? All I heard was "aren't I enough?" "Yes, Lord!" My heart cried out. Oh, how he was the desire of my heart! Yet, Luke was the desire of my flesh. I think most of us are pretty young, between the ages of 14-17. Maybe your younger, or older, and maybe even in the middle. But no matter what age you are, there's one lesson that is SO important. I finally decided to memorize this verse. It's Proverbs chapter 3, verses 5-6. It says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths."

I sat there, re reading the two verses. I finally prayed and asked God to show me what it meant. Finally, he whispered in my heart, and I got it. "That's it!!!" I shouted with glee! "This must mean, in whatever situation I am, I should include God!!!" I finally understood, with God's help. I now pray about almost everything. About guys, my desires, my dreams, my goals, everything. I even tell God how my day went, even though he saw it all! Haha, it sounds kinda funny when I say it aloud. But, I like telling God things. It's really nice, knowing I can tell the love of my life everything, and he cares about it, too. Not to long ago, I prayed an interesting prayer, one I had never prayed before. I said "Dear Lord, I don't even know what I'm saying, but please let your desires become mine. Here am I, Lord. Send me." I didn't even know what I was praying, really, I didn't. And now? Wow, I'm starting to wanna talk about Jesus all the time. I sometimes read my bible 2, 3 times a day. It's crazy. In a good way, lol. No, it's nothing I did. Jesus did it all. Life isn't about me, it never was. What is life about? It's about the one thing that will always matter. No, it's not about fashion, it's not about looking like Hollywood, it's not about getting so much money and buying everything, it's not about owning the most cars, (and no girls, it's not about getting a boyfriend... Wink

) Its about serving and glorifying the Lord. It's about telling people about his gift to man. It's about reflecting Christ to unsaved and saved people alike. You can't do this on your own, you need Christ's help. Don't live a "me" centered life, live a Christ centered one. Because this, my friends, is one of life's greatest lessons. Love you all! Thanks for all the love and encouragement during these hard days. (:
