This isn’t my post for today. Though it might be if I can’t think of anything to write about by tonight.

I just wanted to share a list of some of my friends that have joined the #NovemberBlogFest.

If I missed someone, please let me know in the comments.
Gracias!

God is Able

God is able #NovemberBlogFest

I was driving down the 215 freeway today and thinking about some things that have been on my mind lately (see here). Several of those thoughts started to stress me out.

You see, I worry about things.

I’m afraid of the unknown.
Fear of what I don’t know or can’t control freaks me out.

But then a song came on. You may have heard it before. It’s called “God is Able” and it’s off of one of Hillsong Live’s albums.

Starting with the second verse, the lyrics go:

God is with us
God is on our side
He will make a way
Far above all we know
Far above all we hope
He has done great things

Hearing that song made me feel better. Our God is a powerful God. He defeated the grave. He will never leave us. He will never fail us. So if I’m honest with myself, what do I have to worry about that he hasn’t already taken care of?

It's Not Your Party

It’s not my party #NovemberBlogFest

This last weekend we had a marriage conference at Sandals in which Paul Tripp spoke. One of the stories that he told was of a little boy who, at a birthday party for a friend of his, kept complaining about the party favors he received. His mom finally walked up to him and told him,

“It’s not your party.”

It’s not our party, is it? It’s Jesus’ party. I guess I need to remember that anytime I have to do something that I don’t want to do.

Today I was reminded that even though my divorce is still not finalized, I am still legally married to Andrea and should treat her as such. It’s not my party. I should be praying for her. For her spiritual needs, her physical needs and her emotional needs. It’s not my party. I should be treating her with love so that Emma sees what love looks like. It’s not my party.

I don’t want to do any of these things!

It’s not my party.

It’s Jesus’ party and we do these things for Him.

I’m going to tag this post with #sucks because it does.

EDIT:

I felt like being slightly creative tonight, so I made this as a wallpaper for my computer.

The bandwagon #NovemberBlogFest

I guess I’ve always tried to hang with the cool kids. So when I found out several of my friends joined in what is being called #NovemberBlogFest, I felt compelled to jump on the bandwagon.

Exciting, right?

Like my friend J_Rocka, I have been wanting to write and be more creative.

Writing always allowed me to process the crazy and random thoughts going through my head. I miss that.

It’s funny, I have so much going on in my head right now that I don’t even know where to begin. And I’m so ridiculously tired from this ridiculously long weekend that I’m about ready to fall asleep and it’s not even 11 yet.

So where to start? Maybe just typing words out will help?

Life, it seems, is a never-ending supply of things to think about.

Except for now, all I can think about is sleep.
