This week I have sort of reorganized my life.&nbsp; I made a lot of realizations of stuff that has been sort of skewed in my life&#8230;&nbsp; and today in chapel was sort of the completeion of that.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>You know, honestly, a month ago if someone would have asked, I would have answered, and honestly answered (and people did ask, and I did answer) that I was doing perfectly all right with God and with my life in general.&nbsp; As is turns out, I was wrong.&nbsp; This week I have become closer to God then I have been in awhile.&nbsp; And now that I am there, I can see a huge difference in being there, and in being where I was.&nbsp; God has just been using every event in my life recently, whether good or bad, to bring me into the place I should be.&nbsp; And I am very glad for that.&nbsp; It is good to be in this place, because I truly have a joyful spirit right now, and it&#8217;s good to feel God&#8217;s presence&#8230; when you&#8217;re writing e-mails&#8230; or comments on your xanga site&#8230; or just going about your day.&nbsp; But especially in the writing stuff.&nbsp; Because then you are more prone to say the right and correct things.&nbsp; Or at least, I think so.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I just have to say&#8230;&nbsp; never think you know what is best for your life over what God has for you.&nbsp; If you tell God essentially that you have found what you want, and don&#8217;t want anything else, because you can&#8217;t imagine anything better, then that closes you off to pretty much everything God has for you.&nbsp; And believe me, what God has for you is infinitely better then anything you can possibly imagine.&nbsp; By all means, pursue your desires&#8230; but always approach it saying &#8220;God, if this is your will, then let it happen&#8230; if it&#8217;s not, I&#8217;m willing to let it go.&#8221;&nbsp; God wants to give you the best&#8230; don&#8217;t be afraid to let him.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I hope you all have a wonderful day.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Be blessed.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>&#8220;Here I am waiting, abide in me I pray.<BR>Here I am longing, for You.<BR>Hide me in your love, bring me to my knees.<BR>May I know Jesus more and more.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Come live in me, <BR>All my life, take over.<BR>Come breathe in me,<BR>And I will rise, on eagle&#8217;s wings.&#8221;<\/P><br \/>\n<P>-&#8220;Eagle&#8217;s Wings,&#8221;
