Busy-ness

Today has been another day of busy-ness! I'm so ready for bed, it's after 10...

I was blessed by a friend today because she took the boys to acting class tonight, I'm so grateful. After school I cut another of the educator's hair and she trimmed mine. I hustled home, picking up nasty fast food, to get ready for another haircut I had scheduled. Haircut canceled, grateful again! Just now finished helping Quinton complete his science fair and social studies projects, both due tomorrow.

I haven't watched a minute of television this week or really had a moment to myself, unless you count this.

Forcing my eyes open to do my readings...

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
God has a purpose behind every problem.
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days -- when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you're out of options, when the pain is great -- and you turn to God alone.
Problems force us to look to God and depend on him instead of ourselves.
You'll never know that God is all you need until God is all you've got.
Because God is sovereignly in control, accidents are just incident in God's good plan for you.
God's purpose is greater than our problems, our pain, and even our sin.
When you've been refined by trials, people can see Jesus' reflection in you.
Problems don't automatically produce what God intends. You have to respond the way Jesus would.
God wants you to thank him that he will use your problems for fulfill his purposes.
When you grasp the eternal consequences of your character development, you'll pray fewer "comfort me" prayers (help me) and more "conform me" prayers (make me more like you).
You know you are maturing when you begin to see the hand of God in the random, baffling, and seemingly pointless circumstances of life.
