A new month

It seems time is flying by - well no it actually is.  I have had such an unusual weekend I am almost at a loss for words here which is not like me, although I tend to be a very reflective person.  Despite all of our frustrations in life and setbacks, one thing remains constant and never changing and that is God.  He is always there - watching us stumble along, trying to do things our own way, but never condemning or turning His back on us.  Yesterday a pastor spoke on things that get in the way of our worshiping God and being totally His with everything - in our stubbornness, we say "OK God, but.........and we hang on to something and reach out to Him with one hand not two.  It is His anyway - if we are His child.   God is not a vending machine where we can go ask, put our money in and say " I want that, but when I want it, how I want it, and on my terms."    How dare we - after He gave His son for us - so we could live.
