What do you do when God asks you to do something that you really don't want to do? When your wants don't match what He has planned. What if what you want is split in two directions.... you want something, but you also want with all that you are to do what He's asked you to do? If you are true to what He has for you, you'll put aside what your human nature wants, and choose to want what He wants. (Sanctification)
So why is that so stinking hard?????? ugh
This verse pretty well sums me up tonight, (tho slightly out of context):
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Romans 7:15
Except that I don't hate what God wants me to do.... it's just oober painful.
I've chosen to follow whatever God wants me to do.... whatever that may be.... I'll only do the things which He has His hand in, because if it isn't of God it isn't in His plans for my life.
That makes me happy in a way, because I know I'm doing what He wants me to~ that's like the height of excitement right there =) ..... but another part of me feels like it's dying in the midst of a battlefield with a bullet through it's abdomen :P

be u dont know what he wants.
Maybe I'm the only one who can truly know whether I'm sure of that, and you'll have to take my word on it.
I wouldn't have made a decision like that unless I was sure it's what God wanted.
u broke up with micheal????!!!! all cuz god told you to? tahts stupid. gods an easy excuse to say ur scared of trying. he really likes u and ur giving up on him cuz u dont have an answer in ur life and ur running away from him and blaming god. why would u do that
I kind of agree with 2nd anonymous. It feels like you were just a little scare in what to do with things. Have you talked with him, did you at all try to work things out with HIM rather then just God and youself. I know trusting in God and listening to him with what the right thing to do is good but did you honestly talk to Michael to try to work things out....Key thing to a relationship is Communication. You should be able to say anything to them. Even if its hard and deals with not being sure aobut a relationship.
You know that God is not the only one who makes choices, your dicisions. YOU have every little bit of right to make that dicision. God is not going to leave you or anything. He is there holding your hand, respecting the decisions you make.
Just think a little more with things........
i agree with anonymous 2 and 3, yeh you made that choice but not because of god but you are scared of making the wrong choice and turning from god. its not what he told you to do but what your afraind you might of done. give it some time. rethink things instead of covering up what mihgt be a big mistake. he might be mr. right.
anonymous 3 is right. think a little more about stuff.
hahaha-
sorry, not to laugh, but you guys don't have the full story and I'm not likely to give it to you annonymously... it's not your buisness really.
I will say that what annonymous #3 said borders on blasphemy. If you are a Christian, God directs everything in your life. Your choices are your own, but also what God wants. You want that because it's what will work out in the end as He planned it to. He doesn't just go, "Hey you down there! Here's my plan, but if you don't follow that it's ok... I'll work around you." Haha, no. He has plans and if you are really living your life for him you will folow His plan to the last entity so that He can work through you. Otherwise you're 'lukewarm' like the Bible says... not giving everything to him. We may not like it because we're human, but we will want/choose it.
"Do not change yourselves to be like people of this world, but be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect." Romans 12:2
"The things you should want most are God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things will be given to you." Matt. 6:33
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don't depend on your own understanding. Rememeber the Lord in all you do, and He will give you success." Prov. 1:5-6
I did talk to him about it- If God isn't in the center of something it won't last... no matter what people want. No matter how much they think about it it'll do no good until they pray about it and give it back to God to change and mold and decide what to do with. That's what I did- and it wasn't spurr of the moment.
Thanks for all of your loud concern... but I don't think I'll be responding to any more anonymous comments. I have other more pertinent things going on in my life than responding to people who talk behind walls. thanks tho
You know the truth and thats what matters.
Wow so just reading the 2 anonym. pisses me off. Whos to say that Doing what God told you is a stupid thing? How is it the easy way out? You have no idea what was going on with her and God so you have no right what so ever to say that she was just a quiter or scared. I know when im scared I go to God and ask for help and he gives me a path to take.
"yeh you made that choice but not because of god but you are scared of making the wrong choice and turning from god."
wow. just wow. It is just really said who all of a sudden everyone knows exactly what was going on is katie's head and in God's. Sometimes there is no right choice, just a wrong and a less wrong one. If she was afraid of making the choice then dont you think she woulda just continued on doing nothing? not changing a thing? Heck, right now im scared out of my mind because of this choice i have to make and im just putting it off. I made it but then was afraid because of what happened so I went back. Only God knows what will happen and if we make a wrong choice, owell it will always work out in the end somehow. Lifes full of choices and mistakes. But everyone of them comes with more. It really doesnt matter what we choice with lil things like this because God already has it worked out. Like katie had the choice of staying with michael and going down that road or not and going down a road that she felt more right. And she wont know if it was right or not because she can never go down the other.
Thanks :]
