Sometimes we pour our hearts and things into others and really we should do it to God. When things are painful, that is when we grow. Ideally, we like to plan our entire life out. Somehow we get woken up back to reality. But it is God's plan that matters, He has the best for me. He always will.
He is buried right now, and is fighting for me. Must I still fear? Return back to what I was doing? God is so big, He overcame death for me. Tomorrow He raises from the dead, which is a miracle in itself. That is definitely need power from God..Holy Spirit. It is wonderful to know God who loves and takes care of us, and never leaves us or "casts a shifting shadow" "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." I love that I can depend on Him forever. Forever. Forever. Forever, HE is faithful. AMEN!

Compromise
Ouch. I was just chatting with a good friend, and pulled out old notes. and they were about compromise [to do something you know is wrong.]
What is compromise elements in my life?
Will I choose to stop doing it?
Will I continue?
In a place where I am backsliding but getting to the point to really give it up. What is it that makes us want to hang onto sin and things that we think, make us feel better? Or things we know are wrong. I feel like "the dog that returns to its vomit" and doesn't know when to stop. Until Jesus puts reminders in our path, because He cares about us.
But sometimes it is all in where we put our mind, either on Christ or on our flesh. And the attitude, which I'm learning is so vitally important, even in our image of Jesus we're supposed to give to the mundane each day.
Jesus thank you for opening my eyes again.
"3(A) You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
4Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock." Isaiah 26:3-4
"5For(K) those who live according to the flesh set their minds on(L) the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on(M) the things of the Spirit. 6For to set(N) the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7For the mind that is set on the flesh is(O) hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law;(P) indeed, it cannot. 8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:5-8.
Hmm. Jesus is so good on how He takes care of us.
