Isaiah 65:24

If you know me personally, you might know that I want God to be the center of my life (and I apologize to you all for when I misrepresent Him)... Anyways, this morning I was on the way to church and just had something on my mind that was worrying me. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was definitely taking away from my enjoyment of the day. Somewhat out of frustration, I told God "if you take this away, I'll post on my blog about it".

Lots of people try to make bargains with God. A lot of times it's when they're on a Titanic that's sinking, or an airplane that's going down, or they are realizing that they made some really bad decisions. It's too easily done out of a desire to control God, or a fear of consequences, rather than real repentance. I know I've done it out of poor motivations in the past, usually when I was doing something stupid and was too stubborn to take the steps needed to fix the situation, and I never followed through on my part of the "bargain".

So anyways, here's a blog post to say that I had the best day in a while and can't remember what was bothering me. Whether or not He gives the answer we want, God does always give the best answer.
