God is Patient

I am like a little snot-nosed kid that stomps her feet until she gets her way.

Those kids are obnoxious! I don't know why God puts up with it.

I'm kind of exaggerating, and kind of not... I feel like some people would have things to say about my first statement... that honestly, I don't want to hear!

So, I came here this summer knowing that God was asking for my whole life, not bits and pieces. Also, wanting to know the outcome of my life.

I came here feeling completely inadequate, and in my weaknesses, God was my strength.

Giving up myself to Jesus' will is a choice I need to make everyday, every morning. Last Thursday, when I gave my testimony, one of the summer staffers prayed that I was so willing to do God's will... and when she prayed that, I thought to myself, that's not true. Well, okay, it is. I just haven't completely acquired the courage to do it. God's working on me though and the great thing about God is that He is patient.

He's been sitting around in Heaven this whole time (aka summer, year, life) being all clever on me. Putting things in my way to WAKE me up. Guiding me, the entire time. No experience is a mistake. Each experience in my life has led me to the exact place at the exact time.
