Just a crazy day
September 12, 2008
So a bunch of people told me that they do not get to talk to me that much anymore so I thought I would post blogs on the crazy things in my life.
This week has been crazy, but they Lord God is amazing in giving you strength to move on in his will. I have had so many papers due, test to study for, and homework to turn in, and also I needed to find time to share with God. I did learn something this week that is going to help me throughout the rest of my life. Always put God first. No matter how many crazy activities you have, no matter how busy you are, no matter how many deadlines you have if God is not the first in your life then all that you are doing is completely worthless. He wants us to hide ourselves in the word and live a life that glorifies him and if we do not take the time out of our busy lives to read the bible and have that quiet time with him then we will never accomplish that goal.
In the last couple months, I think I have shared with most of you, the Lord has provided and taught me many things. I made many decisions that I think need to be place on here. At camp one year I gave my whole life to God and told him mold me and make me. The thing is when I said that is was easier to give that up than it was to say the prayer.. I have not been giving everything to God and one day at church the preacher was talking about how we need to give EVERYTHING to God. That night I decided I was going to really give my life to God and the first step was to get rid of the sinful music I listened to. I am so glad that the Lord showed me that when he did because of certain issues that happened after that. But God is faithful and he keeps a strong hold on his children. He says that no man can pluck you out of his hands no matter how strong they are.
But God has also provided for me. I was stressing on how I was going to pay for college and I prayed to God that he would help me. Finicial aid was shut down, and i didn’t have nearly enough in savings. The Lord may have waited until it was almost to late but he wants you to put your whole trust in him and until he has that he will not do anything. But the Lord provided by granting some loans out for me just before deadlines and sending me a $900 check in the mail. Thank the Lord for his mighty power and amazing love.
Remember the Lord is good!

Taylor, thank you so much for this encouraging post. It is such a blessing and challenge to see what the Lord has been teaching you. You are exactly right about putting God before everything else! He deserves the very best from us, and sadly we do not always offer that to Him. That is amazing about the money the Lord supplied for your school. He is faithful, and He will provide for His children. He always has the perfect timing, and His way is best!! Lord willing I will see you tomorrow! Love ya, Jennifer

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.
