If we want God to teach us, to reveal his plan and purpose and will for our lives, we have to show up. We have to meet with him daily. We have to study his word; pay attention to what it teaches us. We have to sit and listen to him; we have to talk to him. We have to practice living as he calls us to live. We can no more expect God to give us his good and perfect will without earnestly seeking it, as we can expect our Spanish teacher to give us a 100 on the test without genuinely earning it.I know when I fail at something, as much as it hurts me to fail, it hurts my father even more to watch me fail because he knows if I had just listened to him, I would have succeeded. God has a plan and a purpose for all of us, but as much as he wants us to seek him so he can give us the true desires of our hearts and fill us up, he allows us to choose for ourselves what voices we will listen to and what path we will learn from and follow. -Jessica N.Jessica is an AMAZING writer! =) I had to share it with the handful of people that read this. <3
So, it's been a while since I posted a "Melissa Moment" hahaha here's one:
I was getting a hairbrush out of my mom's bathroom and the shower door was open. Let me describe this door...it looks like this
ANYWAY, I was walking and looking straight ahead. STRAIGHT AHEAD, Then suddenly, SMACK!!!!!! I ran into the door. How I didn't see it, I don't know, but I ran into the door.
