What or Who is running your life?

I have many blessings in my life. As cliche' as it sounds, there are too many to count. However, one of the biggest blessings in my life is my "boss". Mr. Ken Smith is the Principal at Saltillo Primary School. He is also an Ole Miss Rebel, which makes me smile, and he is a fine man of God. He is not ashamed of his faith. He does not hide the fact he is a Christian.

Often times, when Brother Tim is unable to teach our Wednesday Night Bible Study, Ken Smith steps in. He knows his stuff...which is probably why he is the Lay Leader of our Church. I digress....this evening the topic of our study was, "Who or What is Running Your Life?" Hmmmm.....thought provoking stuff.

Does worry, fear, work, money or "others" run your life? Good question. Do you allow God to take the lead, fill in the gap... often times, that is not the case for me. I am a Jesus loving, God fearing girl, but sometimes I forget that, as a Christian, I am no longer mine. I belong to a loving Father, who cares about me and you so much, He allowed his Son to die for our transgressions (I like that word better than sin, lol). He takes care of the sparrow, and knows when one falls...He makes sure the birds are taken care of...He will, if you let Him, take care of you!

I do not subscribe to the belief that we are down here, flailing around, on our own...left to fend for ourselves, because we have free will! I believe we are given circumstances to exercise that free will, and show where our faith lies. I am also confident that my Heavenly Father is my personal substitute for my fatherless life since the age of 12. He will not leave me nor forsake me....so, how will I let my life be run? By stuff or by God? I chose God, filled with the Holy Spirit and intercession by Christ.

My prayer is that we all learn to let God lead our lives...things will be less stressful!

Love to all!
