ALOHA! All things work together for good...14

[cat03]

I have that song committed to memory, how I love that skit.

Glad you turned a potentially messy weekend into a great time C2H, we must be like McGiver, able to make a hydrogen bomb out of paper clips and a can of tuna

My quarterly these months is about Jesus' life. One paragraph mentioned how we should have constant communion with the Father as Jesus did, who "at every moment" conversed with God. An ignoramous part of me said "but honestly, who does that? every moment? then when would you think of the other stuff you gotta do?"
Then it dawned on me, that the reason I despair sometimes is because I do NOT trust nor have constant communion with God, when I worry and spin my wheels and think of all sort of scenarios about what may/may not happen in my life. That I should be bringing those very problems to Him who has the power to solve them.
I noticed too, that doubt and fear clawed at me when I gave God the least of my time.

On our way to camping I was listening on CD Harry Potter, and something struck me powerfully. If you 've seen the movie (ok, so it's frowned on by my church) it mentions the Dementors, horrible beings who guard prisoners with no need of walls, they just suck all the goodness out of them, keep them prisoners in their minds by using their worst fears. The only way to defeat them is to conjure up good thoughts, powerful positive feelings. And I realize that's what happens to us all the time, we let the enemy suck the life and jot out of us by making us prisoners of our minds (specially if he has already messed us up financially or can't seem to get us any other way), by bringing despair to our souls and making us forget we have a God who has all our worries in His hands, we only need to cast our worries His way and trust Him wholeheartedly.
