done with all thats happened.
done, but never forgotten.
but y'know i am renewed everyday when i see that the Lord's wonderful goodness never fails me? I begin to realise how i had, in the past, more often than not, dragged my feet to sunday service; how id seen many things as a duty, a job; how id got through each sunday perhaps barely seeing the people arnd me. Yeah sure id looked at them, but there was always this youre here and im taking it for granted kind of sentiment.

but now.
things are different.
faith is having the full assurance that God has planned everything to perfection for me.
it didnt seem like it at the time,
but now more and more,
it does:)

I've come to realise the true meaning of coming into His presence with joy, for i look forward to learning more, and as a result, then serving more in His will for me. Its like a whole new world has suddenly and wondrously opened up, a world that, probably, was blurred by the 'jobs' and expectations of before. Now im convinced we really have to put down everything and come to Him with one mind, then only do we experience true joy:)

id never thought id benefit from staying in a younger class, but somehow the lessons give me something new every week. id never thought that sermons hit bulls eye every week, now i see it does. id never thought simple games like scissors paper stone could make me do anything other than roll my eyes, but i laughed till i wanted to cry last week.
id never understood the idea of living out joy, somehow i seem to feel that more and more:)

let go.put down.turn your eyes upon Him.
its hard, and im not perfect
but it helps,
really.
