I Give Up...

          Always have loved quotes and I (Nicole) always will!!  I read one today that was very well put: A fool is a self-confident person who thinks they don’t need help from God or anyone else. –Joyce Meyers. 
      Yes, I have totally been a fool before, thinking that I can do everything on my own. Maybe to where I can practice so much that I will be the best, or work so hard at prepping what I say at concerts to where I can win someone to Christ. (Impossible for ME to do either) Or before I gave my life to Christ, even thinking that I could do "good" on my own. Yes I could do "good" on my own for a little while at least, but I couldn't be my "best" ever alone. You probably know this already, but God did create us. So it would only make sense that He is in control and knows whats best and know what direction and things are our "best". But that is a scary thing right? Putting ourselves in someone else's hands all the time? But we can't see Him? I get scared sometimes doing that and then I think, I am so like the Israelites. I used to think how could anyone be that crazy. God is doing all this stuff for them, like giving them food from Heaven, making clouds guide their way like a map, but they still don't put their trust in Him. I can't say anything, I have done the same thing many times. I see God work in my life and then, just forget. Then, think, God what are you doing? Why did you put me here? I believe sometimes we may later know why God put us in certain places and sometimes we will just have to wait till we get to Heaven to know. But that is where the big word "Faith" comes into play. If we never have "Faith", what trust is there for God? If God always lays out everything in front of us, how will we really trust Him and believe that He knows more about life than we do? How can you truly be a Christian without putting your "Faith" in Christ? 
         Putting "Faith" in scary situations is a blessing because that means that the only way that the situation will work out is through God. Then I get to see Him work. -Nicole :)
