My life is good. Sometimes, one might even call it awesome. I am blessed with wonderful family, good friends, good job, and a plethora of other things I don’t even notice. But sometimes, particularly late at night, Satan has this way of getting in to my head and telling me it’s not so. He whispers these little thoughts about how the grass is greener on the other side, and life is better for my neighbor (hmmm, sounds like a though that those stone tablets warned me about), or my friend, or enemy, or whatever.
And if I’m not careful, I actually start listening to that voice. In fact, I’ve come quite close to writing many a blog entry about that subject. I tend to analyze things a lot, and think about things a lot and I don’t always come to positive conclusions on life.
Thankfully, every time in the last couple weeks that I have had these thoughts, God has helped me out. Most times, I’m not even smart enough to catch on to what’s happening and ask Him for help, but the cool thing is, He does anyway. And just when I am about to post a whiny, self-pitying, woe-is-me blog, email, or even if I am just thinking to myself, God busts in and reminds me of what the score really is. Then suddenly those dark thoughts seem pretty ridiculous.
So, like I said… I have an awesome family, awesome friends, awesome etc… there are some things I regret, people in numerous categories of my life that I probably should have handled things differently with, or should still be handling things differently, but I have faith God will work it out. I pray that He gives me the wisdom to act properly and to His glory in every situation I am in.
In the meantime, you all rock. Have a wonderful holiday season. My sincere love goes out to you (there a couple people in particular that that statement applies to, who may not realize it). Praise God.
