Here is how this is going to work. We read the book day 1 and post your thoughts about day 1. We can all comment and go from there. It is a big commitment but i know we can do it.
Chapter 2 - I think it's pretty awesome that God created you exactly the way your suppose to be. How many hours a day do you think about the different things you would change about yourself. Needless hours wasted into trying to change yourself in some way. It all goes back to his love, his absolute unconditional love. you are not an accident and everything that happens to you has a purpose. Pretty hard stuff to swallow when your going through the rough stuff. FAITH so hard to keep on track on pure faith. Always want signs of evidence that it's going to be ok. Just trust and have faith what an awesome but scary thought. The areas in my personality that I struggle with most is selfishness. It's hard to explain but I really believe that is the area I need to work hardest on. Self Image is part of the selfishness because you want to be perceived a certain way but how true is that to who you truly are. So many times I wish I could stop thinking about what I want and concentrate on what God wants. There so many things that I value that make no sense and are truly for selfish reasons. So the fact that he has a plan and that certain things have to happen to keep you on that plan does make sense. Humility being wrong so one that loves you can feel better about themselves. I heard this in a sermon I heard on sunday. It really hit home how many times do I have to be right and make sure the other person knows he wrong. So I pray and ask god that he teaches me humility and that I not fear his teaching.. I get so scared on how he's going to teach me sometimes and that's were I think the lack of faith kicks in. I need to trust in his ways eventhough it may seem unfair. I ask you all to pray for the guidance to humble ourselves for the ones we love so that God can touch each of our hearts. Learned so much at the sermon yesterday thank you Lord for allowing me to be part of it.
