Why? Why do I keep finding myself right back where I swore I would never be again? Why do I fail miserably at listening to the voice that would lead me down the righteous path? It is because "I" keep choosing what I want to be right and not what I know is right. For 30 some years I have been running from what God would have me do. Every time it has got a little tough, I have tried to fix things myself. Always, always falling way short of where I should be. This year I attended a class at High Desert Church that challenged me to surrender my will, the "one thing" that separated me from God's grace. What I learned is that I need to take that one thing this day and surrender it to God. Let it be my lust, my finances, my pride, my hurt. I just surrender it to God and try and remain at one with him for today. This is my daily trial by fire. God thank you for my trials.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Peace and thanks for listening.......

The wonderful thing is that God will love us through our failings and sin. Everyday we mess up, and everyday God carries us through and loves us more than we could imagine! Love ya my favorite father-in-law =)
