FOR THOSE WHO ARE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, RIGHT OUT OF THE SHOOT

SSSHH..BE QUIET,BE STILL..FEEL THAT???
THE QUIET CONFIDENCE THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL IS A MARK OF MATURITY.QUIETLY BREATH THE CALMNESS AND PEACEFULNESS OF HIS SOVEREIGNTY INTO YOUR BEING. FEELS REFRESHING DOESN'T IT?.THIS IS WHAT I DO A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE DAY .THE NEWNESS OF SCHOOL STARTING,SERVING IN A MINISTRY THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD,WAITING EVER SO PATIENTLY FOR KC TO HAVE ONLY ONE JOB, DAUGHTER "GOING OUT" WITH SOMEONE SHE VIEWS AS "THE ONE", RECENTLY LEARNING THAT A DEAR SWEET ENCOURAGER HAS GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD, STILL PRACTICING THE "LOVE THEM WHERE THEY ARE" BLOG..WOW , I JUST TAKE INTO MY VERY BEING A BREATH OF HIS LOVE , FORGIVENESS, MERCY AND GRACE TO CARRY ME ON THRU THE DAY AND I AM SO REJUVENATED. TIMES OF FEELING SO FRUSTRATED WITH OTHERS AND "THEIR OBVIOUS FLAWS" IS NOT AS HARD FOR ME TO ACCEPT NOW-A-DAYS. I JUST TRY TO SEE THEM AS CHRIST SEES THEM. I KNOW HE GREW ANGRY, BUT IT WAS A RIGHTEOUS ANGER. WAS MINE, I ASKED MYSELF!!!????..WELL PROBABLY NOT,BUT I HAVE REALIZED THAT AS I LIVE AND ACCUMULATE MORE "HATS TO WEAR" I AM STILL THAT SAME OUTSPOKEN PERSON WITH A LOT TO SAY BUT THERE IS A GREATER EFFORT ON MY PART TO LOVE OTHERS IN CHRIST LIKENESS. I LOVE LIVING AND I LOVE LIFE AND YES I HAVE BEEN ATTACKED BECAUSE I AM SO -UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL- & -MISUNDERSTOOD--. I HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED AND DISCOURAGED QUITE A BIT BY OTHERS. GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE SEEMS TO HAVE A DEEPER DIRECTION THAN JUST GETTING TO KNOW THEM.. MY POINT IS THIS, WHILE WEARING MANY HATS AS WE ALL DO,REMEMBER TO LOVE PEOPLE THAT COME ALONG UNDER THE BRIM OF THOSE HATS.. I STILL GET VERY EXCITED WHEN I MEET NEW PEOPLE.SO FOR ALL THOSE THAT ARE LIKE ME AND JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FORGET THE HURTFUL THINGS OTHERS SAY JUST KNOW GOD IS BIGGER THAN THEM ..I HEARD THIS SAYING A WHILE AGO AND I SHARE IT WITH OTHERS -DON'T TELL GOD HOW BIG YOUR PROBLEM IS, TELL YOUR PROBLEM HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS......
