So why do we fight it so much? Why do we question and fight it like stubborn children? God gives us exactly what we need, when we need it, in His perfect timing.
And I know I'm not on to talk about accepting it His timing. I sometimes get so frustrated at why things are happening. At times, I want to give up. But, what I have learned is that its too exhausting wasting time trying to figure out why everything is happening... I miss what God is really trying to teach me. Shoot, I miss it completely. I may not always understand what's going on, but I need to trust God's plan.
In my book that I'm reading, Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado , Jenna was talking about life accessories that she has in her life that help her in times of seeking, and well, in all times for that matter. Life accessories are things that are essential for your life...
Here's her list, (I was really encouraged by her list btw!)
Security-trusting that no matter what, we have a God who loves us.
Identity- in knowing who we are and whose we are
Value- knowing we are treasured
Love-knowing God's love for us so we can love others
Self-Control-for making good decisions
Peace- In believing God is in control
Joy- in knowing the Source of all joy
Contenment- in who God made you to be.
The more I thought about it, i really struggle with finding peace in knowing God is in control. Its just something that I have to constantly be reminding myself of.
But, here are some of the things for my life that are essential:
Good Judgment: to make wise decisions
Support/Community: to have accountability and encouragement
Stability: to maintain the support and encouragement
Trust: to put full faith into something, knowing full well its going to be there for you to pick you up.
I think God places the events and people and difficult situations in our lives to develop us. To mold us.
