Ever have one of those days where something is pounded into your head? Shows up everywhere? It's actually been one of those weeks for me. And it all centers around the ideas above.
Seriously, everywhere I've turned I've run into this type of advice, those verses and even random encouragement. It's easy to say "Ok, I get it" but it's a little harder to follow through on. I am realizing that as laid back as I think I am, I really am a 'take control' type in certain situations. I want WHAT I want and I want it NOW. But that's not all... I'll do what I think I know will get me it too! Ha!
Patience... Waiting for the fulfillment of my requests... Not doing it all on my own...
These are all things I'm learning to practice. :)
HOWEVER, I do believe that there is a need for proactivity once given a response... whether it was the response we looked for or not (the whole ppl trapped on a roof in a flood and refusing the boat b/c "God will save them" type of deal).
Where does that leave me at the moment? Honestly confused.
So blog-ees, when is it time to react and when is it time to "Be still and wait patiently"?
