Today I am thinking about Jesus and the sacrifice he made so I could be free. I read of his life and his service to others while he was here on the earth. I wish I could bee that dedicated to the needs of others but i have so much of my lfe that needs his touch I want to be like the master but ison't know if I ever will be. There is no way to measure all of the things he has done for us but all I can do is thank him for his love and his mercy and do the best I can to follow his example.
I have been reading the bible and I am almost finished reading all of the Psalms. I think some of them are quite beautiful andIt helps me reflect on what God means to me and I can also see glimpses of Jesus in them as well. Sometimes I can identify with the depressed ones because I have issues with depression but I also can relate to the ahppy ones as well.
I have questions about my faith such as how can it grow to be more? What is true faith? What happens when we get off course? What can God expect from me and what can I expect from God? What does he want me to do with my life? How can i be more loyal to God? What can I do to pleasse him without relying on my works so much as a measure of my faith?
I am going to an Evangelist Workshop today. I am really excited. I really want to learn how to bring people who don't know Jesus closer to him. The problems is that I am very shy about talking to people about anything. I want to be able to share my faith openly with others. I don't get much of an opportunity to talk to alot of people but I am hoping this workshop can help me overcome my shyness and help me to be an ambassabor for Christ.
Today I had a really bad day. I went for a job interview and I got snubbed by the manager and did even get his name of an interview I was very angry when I left. I was also angry because my mew pantyhose didn't fit right. I had to get up early and go to this stupid interview. I even got mad at God.But I realized it wasn't God's fault when stupid things happen.They just do.
I have been a good experience. I took agood look at myself and I forgave myself for the first time in years. I blamed myself for everything that wnet wrong in my life. But some of it was beyond my control. I also asked God for his forgiveness also. I wrote him a letter on Christmas day and told him everythingtht was going on inside my heart. WHich I know he already knows. ButI know tht my trials and tribulations have made me stronger than before. For the first time I am optimistic about the future.
I won't lose hope because I have a wonderful saviour who sees me and cares about me and wants the best for me even if I don't know what that is. He is worthy of our praise and I will thank him every day. There have been times when I have been tempted to give up but I know that God wants me to persevere.
Today was an upside down day. I was upset for quite a while I talked to god about it like I always do,but I didn't get comforted until I went to church Wednesday evening and the singing of the hymns cheered me up as I sang along with the songs they were ainging. I know I need to show God because even if my life isn't going good right now it could turn around at anytime and work out for good. And God laid it on my heart to help someone in true need. I realized then and there that I needed to help that person because I could find myself in that same situation but I have been fortunate.
Today has been a hectic day. It's just been busy and people are ina bad mood. It's like there is a black cloud hanging over my house. Everybody's mad at each other and i don't know whatto do exceptpray for this day to be over and hope tomorrow will be better. I am still going to two different churches. I can't decide which one I like better they are both close to my heart. I have to get back to my Wednesday night book club. I haven't made it there in two weeks because I got too tired to go but I have to do better.
