I don't really understand a lot of things. Like a whole whole WHOLE lot of things. Like math. Period. It makes NO sense. And, books... like The Great Gatsby... um talk about CONFUSING! And, pretty much anything else that relates to school... cept history makes sense :) And, lots of things my mother says... like getting in trouble for not wearing sunscreen because I might burn up and die or something. I'm not even burned! And, why things can't just BE clean, without me having to clean them. And why my sister has to hog the computer. And, a whole lot of other things. But I'm rambling, so now I'm gonna stop. But, I really don't get how a judges brain works. I personally think I would make a much better judge than some of the ones in Alabama. But whatever. No, not whatever. It's really totally super kinda a lot not fair! So, one of my very best friend on the entire earth ever's little sister got taken away by DHR and now she's not coming home. Ever. Loooooong story short. For the long version, go to the "Bring Kayden Home(Please Join)" group on Facebook. But, basically, its not fair. But, apparently, its God's plan, so we're gonna have to trust Him. Even though I'm pretty much failing in that area at the moment. But, for real, I truly TRUST that God does indeed have a plan, but at the moment, thats another thing I don't understand. AT ALL. God's mind is like way hugely bigger than mine (clearly... since I've already listed off half a million things I "don't understand"...), but sometimes, I would just love if he would let me in on his plan just a little bit in advance. But, then again, then that would defeat the point of having faith.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." ~Proverbs 4:5-6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the LORD your GOD is with you, WHEREVER you go." ~Joshua 1:9
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you; to give you a hope and a future'". ~Jerimiah 29:11
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition, let your requests be made known to God. And let the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in CHRIST JESUS." ~Philippians 4:6-7
Those verses are all such overused and misunderstood verses. Or a better word/words would be not thought about. People.. including me.... frequently use all four of those verses without thinking about them. God has a PLAN. For EACH one of us. Not just A plan but a PERFECT plan. We have to TRUST his plan though. We often look past the "lean not on your own understanding part". I mean, I think I've clarified my lack of understanding about a lot of things... which is the whole point of that verse. Lean NOT on YOUR understanding but TRUST in the LORD's. Do not be anxious, but let the PEACE of GOD which surpasses all UNDERSTANDING, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. What a powerful verse! God is with you WHEREVER YOU GO, so do not be terrified or discouraged. Despite my lack of understanding, I thank the Lord that he has a plan. God, help me trust you!
