Dear Lord, I Feel Like an Idiot...

There are moments in my life - more often than not - where I wish I could go back and change something that's already happened. I don't want to change what happened because I don't like the situation, or the people, or the time of day, but rather because I came out feeling like an idiot. An idiot for whatever reason. I may have been tongue-tied, I may have walked into something (that happens quite a bit with me), I may have done something that wasn't necessarily as graceful as I know I can be and I just end up feeling like a complete moron.

It's those times, however, that the Lord will use to take my focus off of myself and get me focused on Him. When I focus on myself, I slump into a slump of despair and negativity. Why? Because I'm a sinner. Because when I look at myself, I don't see kindness, goodness, patience, or any other fruits of the Spirit and that pulls me down. Yet, as rotten as I am, Christ died for me - to save me from the depths of hell. Thankfully, when I feel so small, and my self-image has been severed, God is ever-faithful to give me another chance. Another chance to live for His Glory. I don't deserve it, but He's given it to me freely and if it means feeling insignificant in my own life so that I will strive to be more Christ-like and glorify God, not Kaitlin, then that's what I'll do.

Thanks. :)

Great post. I feel the same myself sometimes. Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. I might possibly be doing some more business on my blog concerning that penguin. So, stay tuned!
