A little vent area and thinking area where serious as well as not so serious stuff will appear. Maybe not so frequent at times.
And I might add... sometimes I can have a very weird sense of humour.

I was listening to a sermon about Knowing God's will for Your life. The pastor preaching is Jimmy Evans.
In this sermon towards the end he says something that makes me think of something I tell the kids I work with. What he said was it will never be right between you and God until you include him in everything. (My words, not his. I don't remember the exact words.)
That made me think of something I tell the kids at work if something has happend or they are upset. Some comes running almost yelling "Nilla, you gotta come.. " But others doesn't want to talk. Then I say "If I'm going to be able to help you, you need to tell me what's wrong." Often that will help them to talk. Because they know that I want to help, even though I sometimes have to say that what they did wasn't right either.
What I'm trying to say here is that we need to ask God for help. We need to include him in every part of our lives, not just a fraction here or there. If He is going to be able to guide me and help me, I need to set my pride aside and say "God, help me."
I'm far from perfect and this is something I need to work at a lot. But as they say, they first step is to admitt you have a problem.
God loves you, never ever forget that or let anyone tell you differently!

 |  Early in my walk, I met with a local minister seeking understanding and guidance throughout a difficult time of my life. At this point, I had met or conversed with several other ministers, pastor counselors and individuals ... all of whom offered their sincerest insights, advice, analogies and blessings. I will never forget them. In retrospect, the most profound analogy was given by this particular minister. He suggested I view my life as a puzzle, scattered all over the floor. Each piece representing an aspect of my life. He then asked, "If you are fully prepared to give your life to Christ and truly sincere in your convictions, are you equally as prepared to grab only a handful and ask that only those be fixed?" He then stood, led a prayer and gave his blessings. This resonates with as much today as the moment it was offered. I've used this same analogy many times since then and as I've progressed in my walk with Christ, I've developed a much deeper understanding of this truth and the promise that it holds when we include Him in everything and remain centered on His will.
