Happy Friday!!!!!!!! Whoo boy, I'm ready for the weekend.

So, I've been struggling with a decision I have to make for a long time now. I'm having to give up something I really love doing. I think I'm pretty good at it and it brings me a lot of happiness and satisfaction. I know God put me in the situation to do this activity two years ago, but now he's taking me out of it. So I've been struggling with that part of it. Why do I have to leave it behind so soon?

And then I read this in my online devotional the other day:

God's ways of determining where we invest our time and energy often have little to do with results. The danger for each of us is to determine that we are in the center of God's will simply by the success or failure of the events we are involved in. Our plumb line for determining success can be only one thing: obedience.

Wow. That passage made a lot of things clear to me. My whole life, I've been involved in so many things all at once, and I always figured that was how life was supposed to be, that I should do those things because I found success in them. But maybe that's not always the answer. Maybe God wants me to have a little free space in my life so that He can fill it.

We'll see.

Sorry- I didn't mean to be quite so deep and philosophical on a Friday! Isn't that illegal? It probably should be. Have a good one!!
