Life Now

So the life issues I'm currently struggling through concern faith and pride.

Faith. What is it? Like, there's faith ("I'm trusting in God to give me strength") and then there's faith ("God, I don't know what's going to happen, and I see no way that this is actually going to work, but I believe you can do it ... so here goes").

But even in a mini-faith exercise I had recently, God has shown Himself big and strong, in a way I just didn't think about. It provides motivation to become more and more completely dependent on Him for impossible things.

Pride. Awww, pride. Sometimes, in some situations, you look at yourself and you see it all entangled in your life, clear down to basic things like why I relate to people like I do and even why I relate to God like I do.

But hey, things are happening, God's working, and that's always an encouraging sign.

Wow, the wonderful things the future holds! I can't wait!

Course the present, it's sweet as well.

talking of pride i think that's the main reason we as guys go through such issues when a girl tells us know or drops us....i've recently gone through that experience and was griping my way through the pain of it all until God revealed to me that it's actually a pride, ego issue. ouch:)
