Remaining hopeful

It's about 10:52pm on a friday night and I am at home doing homework. I thought I would take a few minutes to write some thing about myself. Sometimes I can be a bit of a procrastinator. I relaized that sometimes not all the time I can find myself drowning in a sea of stuff that needs to be done.
So I asked God how can I stop being a procastinator?(which is sometimes but not all the time). He simply just answered spend time with me. It dauned on me that when I get into His presence my mind is clear and focused upon Him. When I finish praying and start my work I am focuused and getting things done! That shows me how much God wants to be involved in the big things as well as the little things.
I am remaining hopeful that I will at least get some more work done before midnight.. Well see till next blogg.

The Change

Its about 6:30pm in the evening and I am listening to some Hillsong music trying to fill my thoughts. As I think about the one who brought about great change in my life, I am thankful for what has happened this past month.
About a year ago I decided to say yes to God and move to North Carolina. At first I wasn't to keen on the idea and was even wondering if I heard him right but as I got confirmation I knew thats where He wanted me to be.
The decision was very difficult to make because I would have to leave the only place I have ever called home other Belize where I went to school. Nevertheless I trusted that that was where God wanted me to be and I that He would help me start the process.
I began to interview at different schools until I got hired at the school I now work in. I firgured that if He blessed with a job then He could help me find an apt to. Well to my surprise He lead me to the apt I live in which is only 15min from my job. How greatful am I that He would order my steps in such a way to walk and to be close to work not mention shopping areas and banks.
All I did was say yes and obeyed but although I obeyed there were still some issues whithin myself I thought I could escape from. Well I realize that you can't escape your past. Just when you think you have a situation under control it explodes in your face. Needless to say that's what happened to me. I came to grips about what was going with me and I needed to change. I needed to be sick in tired of my past and I needed to let them go at the feet of Jesus. I realized that only He can change me but most importantly not only does He want to change me from the outside but the inside as well.
Earlier I mentioned that I was listening to some Hillsong music and the song I kept listening to was "From The Inside Out". The verse that sruck me was "My heart and my soul I give you control comsume from the inside out Lord, Let justice and praise become my embrace to love you from the inside out". That's what He wants to show me that even though " A thousands time I fail still His mercy remains, should I stumble again i'm caught in His grace.
It seems so simple yet we make it complex. It has been a month now and I have learned that this is where He wants me to be totally committed to Him in trust. I belive that this is a season to be consumed from the inside out.. I think I am liking the change.. Till next blogg allow God to lead you and rock your world.
