less of me = more of You
tonight beth and i sat in her car together parked in front of my house with the rain coming down around us, and talked about God and about surrendering things you'd rather hold onto for something that you know will be better. about how sometimes the things that we hold onto keep God from doing the awesome things He wants to do in our lives, and then we sit around and complain when He doesn't do them. we talked about faith and how it hurts to pray at those times when you feel like you're only talking to the air, and your heart is numb and you cannot feel anything at all. about faith and how believing in God does not always consist of "feeling" Him but instead trusting that He is there and hears every word we utter. and i love that and how God puts those friends into your lives and allows you to have those conversations that are so encouraging, even if the only thing you're talking about is how hard things are or how much you hurt, because you're still able to share the comfort of God and know you're not alone. there are a million things i feel like saying but no words for any of them. i will say God is amazing -- more and more i realize this every day."but God does not take away life; instead He devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from Him." ~2 Samuel 14:14
that is the Savior i love.
