This won't be a new series because it's actually a life theme and hopefully comes out in a lot of my blog posts...
*God brings people into our lives to teach us new things and love us in new ways.
*God lets us have a really crappy night in order to teach us something about ourselves and Him.
*If during the crappy night, all you can do is cry and murmur "why?" over and over, its ok. God is still listening to you.
*When you keep wondering why God won't talk to you, you hear His still small voice saying "stay." That's all...just one word but with that word comes all the reassurance you really need.
*God is practical and won't leave you with just one word but speaks through others' encouragement and love.
*God has made others older and wiser so that we may learn from them.
*God doesn't measure our success in ministry by how much immediate fruit we see, but by whether or not we were faithful with the seeds he gave us to plant.
*If you aren't patient with a puzzle, you will get frustrated and walk away. If everything in your life is a different piece of the puzzle, you must likewise be patient with those things to see how they are going to fit. It's ok to take your time, set pieces down for a while, look at them in a hundred ways and still not know where they are supposed to go.
These were the events of my Saturday night. I felt like such a lame-o for sitting at home when the rest of the world was hanging out with friends and doing all sorts of normal Saturday night activities. But God knew that I needed to spend some time with Him. So He kept me home, which I was pissed about at the time. But in retrospect, I'm glad. Which all points back to my life-theme:
Life sucks sometimes...but God is good.
