A couple things learned
Just a couple of the many things I learned this last week.
One thing I learned about my rollerblading accident is that if you don't spend enough time seeking God that you need to because you think you are too busy, He will find some why to take back the time from you anyway. I spent around 9 hours waiting to see the doctor, it took me a lot longer to get around and get ready because of the pain I had and because of where the wounds were located, along all with the extra time it took to clean and dress the wounds.
That goes for your tithes also. Not tithing 10% is stealing from God. It's God's money and if you don't give it back to him, He will get it back from you some how. Because I rarely get the opportunity to go to church because of work, I have to send my tithes in the mail. Because of my bad habit called procrastination, a missed a "payment" and I believe I'm paying for it now.
Another thing He is teaching me by this accident is to quit trying to make up my own wonderful plans and give ALL control to Him. Since I was hurt, I freaked out about not being about to work out at all. That made me mad because I was getting to the point where I was getting into the routine and I was finally starting to see the results. Plus, the fact that I am going to be seeing my friends and family in a week. I had this plan worked up in my head about what I was going to do to be as "prepared" image wise as I could in my own power that was with the time I had left. Even though I was frustrated at first, I gave my trust to Him, seeked HIS will, and He has been taking care of my body. I actually lost weight during the time that I haven't been able to work out. And it's not water weight because my clothes fit better. That's all God. He's gets all the glory and not I. Yes I had to cooperate with Him, but He is the great designer and maker. It shows me that no matter what I do in the natural, God has control over everything and I might as well stop trying to do it my way and do it His way.
Plus, He has been dealing with me again on the whole issue of the image thing. I try by my own works to look the best that I can and be prepared from my big trip home but I know that no matter what I do, God controls everything. First of all, God gives me beauty and I shouldn't worry about what others think about me. He created me and He is in constant progress on working on me. I'm not saying that I should take care of myself, but as long as I do what I feel like He is leading me to do, I shouldn't worry what other's think about my image. I should embrace the beauty He has blessed me with and not obsess about it.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 KJV
