Blog Stalker

I am officially a blog stalker. It started off innocent enough--I would simply read the blogs of the people I knew. Then, it spread to the people's blog's listed on my friends pages. And now I have become addicted. Anyway...while I was giving in to this new found addiction today I came across the blog of a guy named Ben. I don't even know him or how I ended up at his blog, it just happened through my course of "blog jumping". After reading a few of his entries I realized how God was speaking to me through his blog. Something he had written just struck a chord with me. It went a little something like this:
"I've said it before, but I don't think God wants us to worry about relationships, or finding a wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend. I just don't. To me, walking alone means freeing oursleves to focus on God's vision for our lives, instead of focusing on making a relationship work. And if God wants us to be with the other person, then He will make our paths cross at the right time and place. Pretty simple..."
I pray that God will bless me with this attitude. I want to be completely satisfied with God and consumed with Him; rather than straying off the path to attempt to enjoy someone or something that might be a detour, I want to stay on the beautiful road God has chosen for me so that I can glorify Him in all that I do.
While I have struggles here and there, I have to say that God is doing some amazing things in my life right now:
1. I used to struggle with my confidence, but now I have friends that are constantly encouraging me. They are such a blessing, I love you guys!
2. I prayed that God would surround my sister with Jesus-loving friends and after two visits to Ignite, God has done that.
3. My mom and I used to argue, a lot--but God is teaching me daily how to serve and love my mom rather than argue with her.
4. My home group is one of the most amazing groups of women I have ever met. God has blessed me with accountability and people who can help me grow in my walk.
5. God is constantly speaking to me, even in the most random ways and random moments. He rocks my face off!
The list could pretty much go on forever. I serve an awesome God. There is nothing like the joy He gives me! On that, I'm out--like me when 4:30 rolls around!

That's a great summary. Just like with anything else, God knows what we need better than we do. Leave it up to Him!

You right Bish...He knows SO much better than we do. I still struggle with that sometimes though. I'm stubborn, what can I say?!
Ben-thanks for the prayers! They are much appreciated, and even though I don't know you, I got you too! :-)
