So hello everyone, let me be the first one to welcome you to my head, or the thoughts that are in there anyway. The point of this blog is to kind of take the thoughts that are floating around up here and point them down to see if they will make more sense. Then you should comment; tell me whether you think it's cool or not. Disagree or put your thoughts down. I guess you could call this sort of a therapy type of session. Get as personal as you want people to read, because remember this is the World Wide Web, and it's free game. So here we go!
So the thoughts that have been distracting me as of late are those of success and failure. We live in a society that praises those who succeed and generally looks down on those who fail. I have failed before, and it sucks; I hate that feeling, you know the one where you feel like you let down all of those who believe or look up to you. But if you succeed than none of those thoughts, emotions, or feelings exists. Success feels great!
Right now I have been battling with this fear of failure. The other week I was talking with someone, and I said negative thoughts do not come from God. Then pretty much within the next few Sundays my Pastor quotes this verse: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7. Man does this verse have some power. So now I have been struggling with this thought of, God wants me to succeed, right? Yes, and to make matters even more convincing, today I read the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and how there obedience to what they knew God wanted them to do not only saved their lives, but it also took them further in life. So, I have come to the realization that God has put me where he wants me to be. He may be challenging me with something that is too much for me, but if he gave me something that I could handle myself, than where is there room for him to help? I declare that I will trust in the Lord, and despite the outcome I will trust in his will.
Thanks for stopping by, I would love to read your comments!
