While sitting at home the past two days doing nothing but reading and sleeping after surgery, I have had a lot of time to think. God has been showing me some things lately through the Bible study that we have been going through at The Well called "Radical". This book is by the author David Platt, and with only reading into a small portion of the book, I feel my thoughts about life situations are becoming "radically" changed. What I mean by that is I am working on giving every situation in my life to Christ.
One of these situations that really is hitting home is relationships; whether with friends or something more. I hold friends in my life extreamly close to me; they are practically family away from family. If I have 'beef' with a friend, I can not stand to have it very long and usually end up appologizingfor my behavior and mended broken bridges. God is showing me I can't radically change my life without having peace in my life. I am working on that. Another area is relationships, like dating. This area is huge in my life right now. I feel like everyone I know is either married or getting married. But this is the conclusion I have came to; God has a perfect plan for me. And in the plan includes a beautiful God orchrestrated love story that is better than anything I can ever imagine. So it is my job to sit back, relax, and fully rely on Him (I am working on that too).
Early Sunday morning, my rooomate Mollie Malone's brother, Elliot, was in a severe automobile accident. He has currently lost both legs, appendix, gallbladder, has a broken arm, hurt liver, and bad lungs. But he is STILL ALIVE! I look at my 'problems' in life and am humbled by how small they really are. Elliot is a man of Christ who is relying on Him to get him through. It is a true miracle Elliot is still living and it has made me realize Christ faith is sufficient.
So as I sit here doing nothing but thinking and chilling post surgery, I am realizing a lot about myself and walk with Christ. I know I don't say this enough but I am grateful for my family and friends. Even if we have had our differences and are no longer as close, I still love you an pray for you. If Elliot's accident has taught me anything, it is live everyday to the fullest for Christ. Sharing His word and letting those you love know it. For we don't know the time or minute when God will decide to call us home!
Have a good afternoon.
Be blessed and tell someone you love them <3!!
----1 Peter 4:11
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
