| I am grateful that I am the way God has made me |
Over the last several days I have talked at length about some of the most important parts of my life. These are certainly not the only times I have seen God working in my life, but in these I have seen the most profound changes in myself. These experiences would be worthless to me, however, if I did not realize what was to be learned through them.
Every single moment of my existence has been orchestrated by God to lead me to where I am. By even changing one decision or one reaction, I could be a completely different person right now. If God had not allowed me to become lazy with my schoolwork in the 7th grade I might not play the guitar today. That would drastically reduce my coolness factor and likely have made me utterly uninteresting to my lovely wife, who has better standards than that.
If God had not allowed me to become selfish and break up with my lovely wife while we were dating. I would not have had the time to mature and fully grasp the concept of the Biblical role of a husband. It would have been far less painful immediately, but so much more later on.

| Even if it can become embarrassing |
By changing any one moment I would not be the person that God has created me to be. I praise Him everyday for each good or bad thing that continues to mold me into a more passionate worshipper who seeks to bring Him glory in all I do. I hope that by reading this you will see how seamlessly God has strung my life together up to this point. He has proved himself faithful over and over again. He can do the same for you if you will let go and let Him be in control.
Question of the Day: Why is it often difficult for people to let God be in control of their life?
...because somewhere deep inside people (we?) either don't think God really knows best or don't think He's really in charge...or both.
