wow! the service at church this weekend was amazing! pastor dino's message was awesome.
one of the things that he said that really stuck out to me was...not being self-centered, being able to be distracted from your own world so that you can see the opportunities God has placed before you.
you have to allow distraction from your self in order to have focus on God.
it's kind of crazy that this was part of the message this weekend, because earlier this week i was talking with my dad and asking his advice on some stuff...and the exact things he said were about how the opportunities God gives us mainly lie in the distractions. he pointed out that while Jesus was on earth He was always distracted by people... they followed Him and asked Him to heal them or they asked to talk to Him... and He never said "no, i've got to get to this place at this time and i can't help you". the ministry He did was mainly in His distractability..He was distracted so that He could be focused on bringing glory to His Father!
so when pastor dino said what he did i couldn't believe it. it really encouraged me. God must really want me to soak that in. :)
God never ceases to be there for me, reminding me that He is guiding me in every step of my life. even when i've been acting like a butt, even when i'm being celf-centered, even when i lose motivation, even when i forget to be thankful for all He has done for me, through every sin, through every fault, through every mistake...He's always there reminding me that He is in control of EVERYTHING. He always has a way to remind me of His love. it's amazing to see how He weaves even the littlest things into my life and speaks to me through them. i get so awestruck! God is so awesome. and i just want to stop all of my self-centeredness and be completely about Him.
well...that's about it for now. i'll have to post about the play maddy took me to yesterday! my fair lady!!! it was awesome!
but i'll post about it later.
