Thoughts

So many things run through my mind all the time. Have you ever wondered why some things pop into your head and you don't know where they come from? That is one of my biggest struggles as a christian. I try to have pure, good, healthy thoughts, but sometimes things get in my head that throw me through a loop and are too embarrassing to admit. When that happens, I pray and then I pray some more, and then pray some more. I don't think God is mad at me when this happens, but I'm sure it doesn't make him happy either. He must feel the same way we do when we are frustrated at our own children. Can you imagine having 6 billion children to keep up a relationship with and hope they make the right choices. I mean, we teach our children right from wrong and so does He. It is clearly written in the Bible on how we are supposed to behave and what we are and aren't supposed to say, and what we are supposed to think, but we don't always listen either.

The fact that He always makes me feel loved even when he isn't giving me my way is amazing in itself. I wish I could do that! But the good news about all of this is that God has brought me to a place in my life as a wife, mother, and friend where I know that I don't have to be perfect and as long as I do my best to show His love then that's a good place for me to be in.
