It's hard to trust God. There are so many things that go wrong. I guess we treat God like some kind of insurance -- that we make a deal, "okay God I'll believe in you and follow your commands. In exchange, I want assurance that you're just going to ward off all bad things coming my way. Deal?"

I know it doesn't work that way. That's not what we're thinking, but as soon as something really bad happens, I ask "where was God?"

But He was there all along....

And It happened just the same.

A few years ago, I had beef with God for not coming through like I expected Him to. I got over it and decided this time I wasn't going to do it again. It's a choice. I've found it's always a choice. And I'm choosing to trust God. Bad things have happened before and I've always made it through to something better. So experience has taught me just to ride this one out.

Yes God was there and yes it happened anyway, but that's alright with me. I'ma be just fine. For we should count it all as joy to suffer in the name of The One Who Saves.

Second day. Second post.

I noticed I have a problem sticking with something for a respectable amount of time. Sure there are things I am most deligent at [i.e. my job, my studies, etc]; but as far as trying to form new [beneficial] habits -- such as exercise routines -- I have a difficult time.

I'm hoping I can break this streak with this blog. Hopefully six months from now, this blog will still be current. I see it as a test of resolution and will. Or maybe the entries will flow out with ease and this new habit will be here to stay. All my faithful readers, pray the latter will be true.

Ha. Faithful readers. Good one.

Maybe some day.

P.s. Thanks Michelle for being my first reader and biggest fan. Love you, girl!

So here goes nothing.

Never did a blog before. Only followed one once -- a friend of mine who I was supposed to go to Europe with started a blog about his travels. I followed it out of a sense of guilt. I was supposed to go with him, but I changed my plans. I had found something better for me here in the States...

...Michelle.

I love her. And love means changing your plans for [read: making a plan to be with that] someone. And I chose Michelle. Because somewhere along the way I realized I would be a fool to not love her.

Now she has a blog. She started one last night. This is merely my attempt to keep up with her ever-continuing quest for change.

She's changed me with her love for change. And I love her for it.
