Lemons
Ever feel like a lemon on the car lot of life? I have. And this week, right in the middle of a study on contentment, that feeling hit me again. It took me most of a day to realize that I was busy comparing myself to other women, (not a formula for contentment, by the way) and therefore feeling that there was too much wrong with me for God to find me valuable. There is a remedy for this problem. If you have an attitude problem, confess it, and then pray the following verses back to God daily (hourly if needed), until that pesky "feeling" goes away. Repeat as necessary.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Psalm 139:13-16 |

About Me
This blog is about whatever is on my mind, God, my family, my life. For some reason I like the title, so I use it. Maybe it refers to my thinking more than the weather. When I'm thinking clearly, maybe my blogs will encourage someone.

Jul. 23, 2005 - Comparisons
One of my brothers has the golden touch. Everything he's ever done has turned out wonderfully. His life seems so easy and so perfect. But to he whom much is given, much shall be required. I have to remember that God has a completely different plan for his life than for mine. My responsibility is to life MY life in MY circumstances in as godly a manner as possible.
Those perfect women have their own struggles, and their own paths. Maybe, just maybe, God has a higher opinion of you ;-)
