Blessed

So I sit here typing at my home, not my house. The home i grew up in, and have known since i was 1.5 years old. I was really angry when i found out all the recent drama about moving out of The Cockpit. What i realized, or what God showed me rather, was that i need to have a Christ-like attitude throughout all situations, even more so during seeming trials and tribulations. So when i found out i would have to move out 3 months earlier than expected, and need a place to stay for like 9 months...i thought id move in with my cousin. Today that to fell through. My first reaction was to get mad, but i knew that would be completely disregarding everything God has taught me this last week. The point of this BLOG is two-fold. (side not...This blog just got interrupted...and it was a complete test on everything that i just wrote) I could really stress out, but i know that would only add more problems to the present situation. Now finally the two points. First, Trusting in God is key. It is scary, because i like to be in control of everything, everything. The thing is I will never be in control of the future. All i can do is live my life as best as a can in regards to God, and let him control my destiny. My job is to accept and adapt. I want Gods blessing, but realize that everything is in his mercy, and he does not owe me anything other than salvation which is blessing enough (Daniel 9 quiet time this afternoon). And Second, how blessed am I to have a place to stay. i could complain about having nowhere to go, but i have plenty of options. To complain is to spit in the face of all those hard working people who live paycheck to paycheck, or are truly homeless. I end this blog with optimism, because i realize just how Merciful and loving God is. He has already truly blessed me.
