Living by God’s surprises?
How do we know how we think or feel about things?
For me, I’ve learned that expressing myself in places like this, is one way I can know what is in my head.
I guess another way is to listen to myself.
Last night we attended a wedding and connected with some old friends we hadn’t seen in almost a year.
He asked me how we were doing, referring to the Spring of our discontent.
I said God was blessing our lives in amazing ways.
Did that come out of my mouth?
I said we were so much better off than we were a year ago…Holy Cow!
I said I wouldn’t trade the experience of the past year for anything.
And you know…I’m right!
There have been times in the past year when I may not have felt that way…there will probably be days like that in the future…but overall what I said is true for my mindset.
I guess you would call what I just described as surprised by God…surprised…to realize that my life has been transformed through trials. James 1:2-4 is true!
James 1:2-4: “2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
