Its always so funny and amazing to me how God can use some situation to illustrate a lesson to me. So today I drove my new car for the first time (OK its new to me...its 17 years old! ha ha ) and it doesn't have the power that I am used too in a car. I have been driving my mom and dad's Honda accord. Anyway I was just driving it around the block a couple of times and then going home and I was a little annoyed that I had to push the pedal halfway to the floor to get it to go to 30mph and then I thought about ( and I know its silly how my brain works =P ) God's power and how much easier it is to do God's will versus going our own way.
I mean its not always easy doing what God has you to do I am not saying that at all! Sometimes doing His will is very hard but its always easier doing something good in God's will vs. out of God's will. I find that I can be doing something I think is great (other people might even think its awesome.) and yet if I don't pray about it, and consider what God has to say...Its never as easy! Even if its just mentally. When I am in God's will there is peace and that's not the case when I am not doing what He wants (bad or seemingly good).
It was a great reminder today. I love it when God gives me life lessons when I least expect it!
Oh and even though it may sound like I don't like my new car...I do love it! I mean its a car and I can't be more thankful for God providing it!

A couple of rules and guidelines for comments:
1. Please have them be appropriate... in the langauge you use, your grammer (As much as possible. I don't expect perfection.), and in regards to staying on the subject of the post.
2. Be honest. Share stories and personal experiances if you would like but please don't share names and locations and such...I don't say this to be mean but to protect everyone here =)

I like the new blog template, it's big and blue lol. I agree with what you said! Sometimes, it is really hard to do what God wants me to do. But when I don't do it, I feel like I let God down. It's a terrible sinking, guilty, dirty feeling that I wish I never had to feel. As hard as it is to follow God, it's worse to not do it. If you love self-pleasure and enjoy comfort, you have a no-win situation with life: it's hard vs harder.
