Well I had this very long post all written up about waiting and being patient on the Lord for things like the Santa Ana PD but I've decided to write about something else.
A reverend, and he is ordained ;) once said that: An apology is the best way to have the last word:: no one has ever choked by swallowing their pride.
When you practice forgiveness it will not back fire on you. Forgiveness is one of the most powerful forces in the world along with apologizing (admitting your wrong). When you are faced with the chance to forgive take it and do it with a smile. Because these are tests that God gives you to teach you forgiveness, patience and love. Forgiving someone, I believe, is one the of strongest ways to show someone you truly love them with all your heart. Of course, things don't always work out the way we want them too but never ever see it as backfiring on you. I've learned from church that when you pray for something God will always answer you. The problem is no one knows how to take no. If you're praying for something (ex. Santa Ana PD, relationships, money, better job) sometimes God will answer with a "no" and not give you what you ask for. Just remember that everything is in God's timing, maybe you need to wait for that perfect something because you are not ready to handle it properly right now. There are obviously millions of reasons why God doesn't always give us the desires of our hearts but the one thing that we need to remember is that He loves us and only wants the best for us and sometimes the best thing for us is a "no" because it just might be temporary.
With all of this said, I'm going to make a quick right and talk a little about Karma. Some people call it Karma, I call it "do unto others as you would want done unto you". This is real people and yes it will get you. It's the same as what I posted yesterday about your sin finding you out. When you sin and hurt someone else, especially one that loved and cared about you with their whole heart, Karma or that phrase will come knocking at your door and will hit you where you thought you could never get hit or be affected. And Karma doesn't care who she tears into, it doesn't even matter if you play the keyboard on stage for your church every Sunday. . . .
Now for a quick left turn. . .To be on a praise and worship team is a blessing. It's a blessing to be part of the team that ushers people into the throne room of God through worship. God yearns for us to worship him and being on the worship team preps people to enter into that room with God. Of course anyone can do it on their own but it does help to have the worship team. To be a part of this elite team of God it requires a person to have flawless character, a heart after God, and most importantly someone who is not a hypocrite but someone who practices what they preach and stand for. I've thought long and hard about my decisions and I know that the church and God stands behind them. I am only human and I'm definitely not perfect but I don't have a heart after God. The Lord is exactly what I need right now. The Lord knew that and did what he had to do to get my attention. The Lord gives and takes away. When something is higher than God in your life, He will take it away because He should always be #1 in our lives.
Everything is my fault. I'm a sinner and I sinned. I must live with my mistakes and worship my Maker.
I praise you Lord.
Never stop smiling and never stop laughing
