You know that old DC talk song? In youth group my friends used to joke aorund saying that was the theme song from my life. I don't think I've changed much since then...
A friend said to me the other day, "I like how all your stories are about how hard the circumstances were but GOD pulled you through. Like all your stories."
I didn't really know how to respond at the moment so I simply smiled and laughed a little, not denying it because it is true I think. After a while I was thinking about it again and I wondered why all my stories follow that pattern.
I think maybe I am a slow learner.
If I would just obey GOD and learn to be joyful no matter what the circumstances then it wouldn't seem so hard at the time. For some situations that I go through anyway. Or maybe if I trusted GOD more then my life stories would take on a different theme.
I just don't know quite yet.
