Day 9: What Makes God smile?

Point to Ponder:  God smiles when I trust Him.  

Verse to Remember: Psalm 147:11 (CEV)

Question to Consider: Since God knows what is best, in what areas of my life do I need to trust him most?

That’s a no brainer. I need to trust him more with my heart. The only reason my last relationship was able to break it so badly was because I put all my faith in my ability to make the relationship work. I was so fearful in that relationship that it would fail and how I’d be left with nothing. Well, it DID fail… this week marks the “anniversary” of him telling me he loved somebody else and I may not be where I want to be… but I can’t say that I have been left with nothing because my faith is stronger. Bipolar Girl is neither broken nor unlovable. God has not told me that I’m going to end up some old cat toting spinster. Committing my life to serving him doesn’t mean I need to be a spinster missionary either.

Relationships in general are another area where I need to trust him more/most. I think I’m trying to do that in steps that I can handle. I stopped being content to hang out all alone in my bubble months ago. Now I’m acting on it. I am now a greeter at church. I just joined a small group that meets ever Wednesday night. I have a friend now to do stuff with like concerts. I’ve gone to staff BBQs and I’m going to the Maui Writer’s Conference. I’ve been communicating with people here even though I deactivated comments on my primary blog… and great googly moogly, I’ve even talked to some people on the phone!!! Now… I’m opening myself up for relationship here by starting this blog. Sure, it’s only for 40 days… (40 Days of Purpose/The Purpose Driven Life)… but it’s a start.
