His way or Mine.

I am curled up on my couch, decked out in sweat pants, an obnoxiously bright turquoise old navy shirt, and my brand new bunny slippers. Yes you heard me correctly. My inner child came out in Target when I spotted the lovely foot wear. The slippers have ears that flop and stick out, as well as whiskers. Feel free to judge, but I love them.

The past few days I have NOT been feeling well at all. I have been drugged up on Nyquil, Benadryl, TherFlu, nasal decongestants, and loads of cough drops. I hate hate hate feeling ill. Not being in control of my body frustrates the heck out of me. Luckily I slept off most of my ailed body last night through 1:45 pm today. Aha yeah. I slept A LOT, and right now I am paying for that, as I am wide awake!

A little deeper now. I am having interesting conversations with the Lord lately. I am putting a lot of things in His hands. I really do want His will in my life. But there is ALWAYS this struggle of me wanting to be in control. I am always questioning, "Okay is it okay for me to do this, to feel this way? Are the doors that are opening, opening by God's hand or am I pretending that God's hand is in this, but really it is just my own doing?" I start to get scared, and worry about making the wrong decision. I start to analyze EVERYTHING. Sometimes I wish I could just relax and enjoy life. Take turns that I am not sure are right. Peek around corners that aren't clearly labeled. Am I keeping myself from experiencing life? From experiencing love?

ALSO.
I want to pray more with my friends. Why does it just have to be over dinner? Or at church? Or because someone is having midterms or a final? Why can't it be over my favorite flavor coming out at the Sweet Cece's by my work, eh? I want to start praising God for EVERYTHING in my life. For me making the yellow light right before I turn onto Franklin Road. For not spilling 170degree milk down my leg.


ps. DEAR MALES. BE STRONG. BE MEN OF GOD. BE THE HEAD. STAND TALL. women like that. (smiles)
