A storm of Confusion....

Jul 14, 2004 10:57

Ok so the storm last night-scared me terribly. I don't mind lightning, I don't mind rain, I don't mind wind. But good lord it was so loud it woke me up at 1:00am. I sleep through just about everything at night. And it frickin woke me up! And then it was so loud and there was lightining flashes every three seconds(yes i counted and averaged it out) ( Read more... )

don't be silly. there's no mess except the one you've decided to make up in your mind. life isn't as bad as you make it out to be. and if you're having trouble with making decisions, give all control up to God. then when things happen, you can give it to God and trust that the right decision'll be made. get what I'm saying babe?

Well................ littlemexicana July 14 2004, 12:34:21 UTC

Get it. It isn't all that bad. I understand there are far worst things others go through. I just make things worse alot of the time. I don't mean like exagerrating them- I mean I always do somethin stupid to make things worse. I have trouble leaving it up to God to be completely honest. I have trouble leaving anything up to Him. Yea it's stupid but it's what I do. It's what I've always done. I can never seem to change it either. I wanted to so bad one time but I just couldn't let it go. I could hand out advice to people about their relationships with God but I have never used any of it myself. Everyone is always telling me-pray about it-leave it up to God-blah and blah. Just what I tell them too. But I've neevr done that. I have a problem with trying to deal with things myself and I realize it but I can't seem to change that. You have things easier because you can let that weight off your shoulders by handing it over to God. I can't do that. okay so I can but for whatever reason I can't ya know?

it's not a can't. it's really a won't. you wanna hold on so tight to it that it's too hard to give it to anyone much less God. sometimes you gotta just let go.

the thing is Gods just there hoping you Will trust him. He will never leave you or forsake you, sometimes youv'e got to take charge of you life by giving control to God. All you have to do is go in your room turn on some praise music and just flat out say "God this is your problem, I give it to you, help your will to happen"

just my opinion... consumedintime July 14 2004, 13:47:56 UTC

Oh this whole God/give speech is sweat. But now I’m going to ruin it like I always do. Yeah yeah yeah we all know God can help you and stuff and it’s always are decision to let him....well I don’t know it that’s true. Everytime I look to God for help it seems he throws the problem back on me or just ignores it and that makes me think, alot of crap, some good most bad, but what I think is maybe these problems, the ones we make on our own, are OUR problems. God's not our escape goat it's not up to him to save us from the things we have created, yeah he'll help us with the life threatening things but the petty stuff is up to us.

So if you can't fix something take it to you friends and the people who care about you and work to make it right yourself. If we blame every problem on our selves and then expect god to fix it in the end what will we have learned?

Re: just my opinion... guildagent13 July 14 2004, 14:18:59 UTC

you see though, giving control to God is different than waiting for him to make decisions for you. giving control to God is not worrying why bad things happen to good people. it's all part of God's plan in the end and you don't have to worry why something bad is happening to you.

rejoice in all things. know that in the end it's all part of God's plan. that's what giving control to God.

and another thing is I don't think God is obligated to help you out in the life threatening things. he's not obligated to help you in those situations. life is a learning ground and a test for heaven. you know my outlook on what the world is and all that. you have to learrn in order to gain eternal life. yeah. I think that's all I really wanted to say.

Re: just my opinion... littlemexicana July 14 2004, 14:50:11 UTC

Well Grant you most definitely don't go with the flow on this one. I like it. Good to know someone has an actual opinion on something that is based on more reality than just what we are told. I agree with you and yet I agree with Brandon and Bryan. I don't think God should be our escape goat. But I think we should depend on Him to some degree. Hm....

...IN MY OPINION! cicerosangel July 14 2004, 23:08:40 UTC

take control by surrending to God. why because you cant do it. We all fall short of the glory of God. your friends and family will forsake you, but God wont. im tired of people doubting God, *cough* grant *cough*. God is there, you just have to humble yourself and guess what God puts you through hard times to make you more Christ-like. Hell never put you through anything you cant handle. He puts you through things that are so hard that you need His strength and not yours. i trust God and not man. choose your feelings dont let your feelings choose how you live. yeah im going through bad things too, boo hoo, im not sad kuz i choose to be happy and rejoicing in the trials and reading the Bible and seeking God gives me joy and the joy of the Lord is my strength. anywho trust God and seek Him, why go to man when man will fail you? go to God first then He will tell you what to do.

hun...take it from the queen of making the dumbest decisions known to man...

nothing is as bad as you think it is. nothing. and no one's harder on you than yourself.

you have to make a conscious decision not the brood on it. whether that means giving it to God, or fixing the problem on your own...however you deal with it...just know that its NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

the sun WILL SET and WILL RISE AGAIN.

I promise. *muahs* I heart you.

littlemexicana July 15 2004, 10:22:04 UTC

Oh I know it's not the end of the world. Don't worry. I just do dwell on things a bit too much.

venezuelanrain July 15 2004, 20:19:30 UTC

I have the same problem, i dwell on things to much. I think a lot of us do that,when we have a problem we just sit there and think, and think, and think about it,,,,,,then sometimes our minds create problems that dont even exist,,,,,,,well thats me anyway!
