The Lord's revelation

  I was talking to one of the girls in my house last night just about some different things we had been dealing with over the past few months. She was telling me about the revelation that the Lord had given her. I had something, not really thinking about what I was saying, but last night, as i looked back on what I had said it made total sense to me and the Lord used it to help me with what I'm facing with different situations in my life.

  We were talking about giving things to the Lord (Situations, struggles, ect) and asking Him to take them from us. What I told her was basically this...
  We can tell the Lord over and over again to take something away from us, but if we (spiritually speaking) still have a tight grip on that and will not let it go He cannot take it. You see, the Lord wants to take our worries and problems away and wants to give us a light load...

Matthew 11:30

²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
 ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 But, The Lord is a gentleman and will not force us to do something that in all reality will benefit us more then it will benefit Him. He loves us enough that He would not only die for us, but he doesn't want us to weigh ourselves down with the "issues" we have that we can't even fix without His help. So, unless I ask God to take something and willingly surrender it... He will not take it.

Anyway.. The Lord's just a good God. He loves me so much. :)

Life's unexpected turns

  Well, Today has just been one of those days where you feel like it's just not going to turn out well.. but I am still trusting the Lord with every situation.
  Today I tried to get a hold of the lady that I am waiting to hear back for my job next year. Well, she called me back and told me that for now things are not going to work out. The reason is they needed someone for the summer, and this girl already lives in Nashville. But if for some reason she doesn't work out they will give me a call...

  So.. let's just say things are kind of at a stand-still. I'm not sure what to do at this moment other then try again. I know that the Lord has called me to Nashville. Now i just have to decide if I'm going to allow one setback to totally set me back from where the Lord has called me to.
  So.. if you are reading this I ask for your prayers. I know this is where the Lord wants me. He is the one directing my path.
