Peace

I saw my picture, and I looked so different...

This is how I originally planned this blog post, but today I once again talked to Chris Liu, received advice and picked at his brain and was once again reminded of the importance of the Gospel.  Often times it's easy for me to stress out about things.  I try to go through almost every scenario in my head without actually doing anything... it's sorta ridiculous in all honesty.  It causes unnecessary stress and pain, and it often distracts me from my Lord.  Yes, Lord as in master, a term which has a negative connotation, but in reality it shouldn't. However, that's a side discussion, my point is Jesus is the foundation for everything.

If this doesn't make sense/you don't agree, please talk to me.  I would love to understand you better, and hopefully not only share my view but learn more so I can further develop myself.  But my point is, peace comes from God.  Security comes from God.  The reason I strive to do good is for God, but at no point should that become the focus of my actions.  The point is not to do good and show God, it's I love you God and here is my meager offering.  God can and will use all things for His glory, and I need to be open to that.  So I thank Chris for constantly stressing Jesus while giving me advice, but ultimately I give my thanks to God.  As foolish, as dumb, and as much of a sinner as I am, I thank you.  I pray that you continue to be my foundation in all things.
