Sometimes I lose my way...

I must admit, I've strayed pretty far lately. I've gone into tunnel vision mode; overlooking God's goodness because my worries have clouded my vision. A few wonderful young ladies reminded me how awesome my God is... through their facebook posts- 'gotta love that! I wonder why some days I'm head-over-heels in love with my Savior, yet others I forget to even acknowledge His presence. I'm far from perfect, but I'm striving. The key is perseverance. I haven't persevered very well as of late. But, I'm learning from my mishap and I'm moving on. Hopefully I've learned my lesson, but I'm almost positive I'll mess up again. The beauty behind every mistake is the chance to try again, the chance to do better. I hope I've learned my lesson this time. Every time I rely on my own strength, I end up flailing around in my mess, crying out and asking God "WHY ME?" only to realize that it's BECAUSE of me. It shouldn't be hard to trust in the God who created the world, who can part seas, move mountains, create and destroy life, who put the world into motion, who loves me sooooo incredibly much that He died for me. And yet I still try to control my own life? I try to forge my own paths and make my own doors, and those of us who have been there can tell you that it doesn't work out so well. He created me- shouldn't He know what's best for me? Of course He does! I will trust in Him. (:
