I need to get over myself. I catch myself all the time focusing on myself... when I say my life is all about and because of Christ. Yeah, I grew up on an annual family income of $10k (yup... it's even less than I thought), yeah, I go without things, and yeah, I don't have alot of "normal" things that people have... but really...
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” ~ Psalm 92:1-2
...it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ... Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. ~ John 6:32-35
Aka: he is my all... I need to realize this more and stop being such a needy brat all the time. I don't need anything... in all reality i could die of undernourishment and neglect (which is a far stretch from my life right now)... or even get a stake pounded through me, but I would still have all I need, and he gets to do whatever the heck he wants.
Obviously I still have many human wants and desires... but God wired me that way, so as long as I keep it through my head that he is my all then I think he just might provide some of those things as he sees fit.
So... I guess these are the 4 things I'm working on:
welp... Good night you great big world, you.

WHY THE HELL SHOULD I CARE?
I'm alive, right? Christ chose me as his daughter and paid for my idiocy yes? My only purpose is to bring glory to God. I fail so much at having my head screwed on straight... I whine and throw my own little pity parties. And yeah... I'll probably do more of that throughout my life. But if you catch me at it, please slap me and say "what the heck is wrong with you?... It's all about and because of God." *sigh* This blog basically functions as my journal. A sometimes obscure one, yeah... but it's my place to puke my everything onto a page. I usually find my head in the gutter, but even a guttered fool should have the sense to find food and shelter.Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Disclaimer: God can use riches and "comfort" for his glory as well... but we need to get our focus on him and allow ourselves to be filled with his joy no mater where he has us.

So... I guess these are the 4 things I'm working on:
1. Getting over myself
2. Getting over my life and situation
3. Getting all over and all about my All (yup, that was a lot of "alls")
4. Giving God all of my glory, and prodding others to do the same.
welp... Good night you great big world, you.
