I have to start out by saying, the Lord is good. I've been going through a lot of changes lately, and it's been hard for me. But through this God has shown me how much I really need to depend on Him. It's comforting to know that I can depend on Him. He is always here for me, ready with a listening ear, open arms, and a shoulder to cry on. The hard part is learning to actually turn everything over to God and let Him deal with it, and letting Him guide me.

It has been my desire, since observing a certain Bible college roommate, to become a woman of prayer. I would have the strong desire to pray with others. When we finally started a prayer meeting at church, and it was time to go, the desire would go away. I became so frustrated with my attitude. All I could do was cry out to the Lord begging Him to put in me the desire to spend more time in prayer with Him. So, though this past month or so has been difficult, I have learned not to lean on my own understanding, but to let Him guide my footsteps.

It always amazing me how much like a sheep I am. I have read Proverbs 3:5 since I was a little girl, but it really didn't click till now. I am like the young sheep that wanders off and the Shepherd has to bring me back, break my legs, and heal me, teaching me how and where to walk. And then I have the gall to ask why God had to teach the Israelites over and over again. HA! Silly sheep. =)
