Most important
We all have areas where we come short maybe even fail at them. Realizing we will never be perfect is essential in life. I am not saying we don't strive to be our best in the areas the Lord puts on our heart. Putting things in perspective is so important otherwise life becomes so frustrating! We feel as tho we are always spinning our wheels and never getting anywhere! But are you just really spinning your wheels or is it that God has you exactly where you are at this place and time in life. Nothing takes God by surprise in our life not even the upsets that we experience. God knows just what we need in life to shape us into the person He would have us to be. So we struggle through life trying to make sense of it all. Most of the time thinking that change will be the answer to our problems. God doesn't work like that all the time. Sometimes God wants us to simply seek Him. To look to His Word and have personal prayer time! To take the time out of a busy day and listen to some solid preaching! Some preaching with some meat (the kind of preaching that doesn't just stir you, the kind that changes something in you for life). This is the change that God desires for us. Not that of a earthly thing like a job change, better financial freedom through making more money, a new home, a new puppy or pet, a concert to go to, and you name it the list goes on and on of ways we try to make our own changes in life. To feel as tho we have attained to a different level of peace and freedom from the daunting tasks of life. There will always be the daunting task of life that we have to face day to day but what is most important is Who we face those challenges with! Are you facing your everyday life without the help of Jesus. I know I can say there is definitely times in life when I do. Life is so much more difficult without the Lord. My husband and I were discussing situations last night and we both came to the conclusion that there will be areas we fall short in or may even feel as tho we have failed in. The example I have seen today in my husband is that if you seek the Lord what else really matters!?! My husband and I will both have areas we will fall short in but what matters most is....will we on God to help us through. Will we TRUST the Lord to get us through. Will we seek His face. Will we continue to be soft towards God and able to mold. Will we trust His perfect will. My prayer is that we continue to seek the Lord and not let life get us down! God is bigger than any situation we will ever face!

And Oh how right you are, Chelsie and Scott. Each day we all face disappointments, discourgements, challenges, unexpected illnesses;bills and repairs. Nevertheless, our God is still and always will be; in complete control. What a peace we have if we trust Him and "go with the flow" when necessary. Keep in the word; as you two do, and obey it. May the Lord continue to use you and your precious family to encourage and lead others to a personal faith in Jesus Christ. Grams
