OK, I'm going to be straight with you. I had to move out of my house almost a month ago. I wasn't getting enough working hours in my parent's minds (40 hrs/wk). So I had no choice but to find a place to live and move out. It's been taking a lot of getting used to. I now have rent to pay, groceries to buy, and all on a salary from a part-time job.
For a while, I was angry, and I kept it inside of me, and became what I didn't want to be again... A jerk. I didn't want to listen to people, and everything was going wrong.. I didn't know which way was up. Finally, I listened to people's intsructions, and got into the Scriptures. The first verse I found was Isaiah 42:18, "Oh, how deaf and blind you are toward me! Why won't you listen? Why do refuse to see?" After seeing that verse, I paraphrased it as God saying to me "SHUT UP AND LISTEN!". Cuz see, I wasn't really listening to Him either. I never seem to learn about that... I like to think I'm living my life the way God wants me to. Most of the time I'm not..
So I began to listen to God, instead of me griping and complaining all the time. Things are OK, not good, but not bad either. I don't know yet where God wants me, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve His goals. ALL of them. As long as He is in control of my life, I can do all things through HIM!
