Break me to teach me....

Ok so I am written this post onehanded - thid is due to my right hand -being cracked and almost broken. For the next 2 months i will be the one handed wonder ....

I know already - that the next 2 months are going to be hard. It boilds down to the fact that I will be having to ask for more help then normal.. Now you read that and mostlikly are thinging " So of course you need help- your broken hellloooo" but that idea scares the crap out of me !

I have worked so hard growing up to do things myself - and to have to rely on others for help tarrifies me ... but like I am learning over and over again here this year - is THAT GOD HAS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING ! this has been a reacrering theme for me the past 3 months ... yet still hard for me to grasp! I don't know why but it will not get through my thick head .....

THIS I KNOW FOR SURE GOD teaches in strange ways - I have fears and insucurites to work through .. so God if you need to break me to teach me - bring it on....

I think college made you comfortable in your thinking of God. This thought really is Carmen's wisdom, but I agree with her. I think this time you have now, before you leave for missions is a needed one for God to break you (sorry about the pun) and build you up for His work.

It's true. God cares for his children and wants them to grow into holiness and righteousness and maturity and unfortunately, these things don't happen when life is easy. God uses hard and frustrating circumstances sometimes and we can choose to grow and learn what he wants of us, or choose to be bitter and resentful b/c our perception of God doesn't leave any room for that. He doesn't live in a box... We don't live in a bubble... things happen.
