Hello all

I just got back from my vaction with my best friend.I had went back home with her.Which for her home is Fairview heights,IL.And I had a wonderful time there.I found out Sharita is alot like her mom.For example they both will randomly do something silly.Sharita tends to make a funny looking face and her mom on the other hand will make funny sounds or double talk.They truly are blast to be around.

While on vaction we took a short road trip to Branson,MI.And it was the first time I have ever went out of town and did none of the driveing.It was quite the experince in the sense I had alot of time to reflect on things.And one of the things I noted was how different it feels to have someone else in control of your destiny.As I sat in the back seat I relized I had no control of where I was going.When I get there or when I would get back.I had no control over when the next time I would get food,Water,Or get to use the rest room.And I could choose to panic take over the wheel and mostly likely land us all in a ditch.Where I would not be anymore in control of my destiny then I was before.Or I could choose to voice my concerns to the person in the drivers seat hopeing they would pull over at the next gas station so I could care for my physical needs.

The same principles applies to God.He's my driver he leads me right to where I need to be.He connects me to the people I'am suppossed to know. I could choose to panic when it appears to me I may be lost.Or I can cling to what I know to be true.Which is my God has my best intrest at heart.1st Corinthians 10:13 states "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."

However faulty navigators can and will give you wrong directions or advice.They don't care about your physical or spritiual needs.They would rather apease your flesh telling everything is ok to gain your trust and acceptence.Galatians 4:16-18 warns of just such navigators.Quote "Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them. 18 If someone is eager to do good things for you, that's all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I'm with you.

However God always cares.He cares so much about you and me he has counted every single last hair on our heads.God is both merciful and just.he has given us free will to act as we please.But whether or not you believe God is God.That does not change truth for example an orange is still and orange whether or not you believe it is an orange.Instead you may believe it's an apple but regardless of what you believe it is and forever will be an orange.Same way with God.God will always be God and will always be true.Hebrews 13:8 comfirms these truths by stateing "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

I quite enjoyed my time rideing as a passenger.When else would I have the time to see a new way God has directed my life.Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this blog.I hope you were blessed by it.
