life's lessons

So i was doing my devo's yesterday and i came accross this verse:

2 Corinthians 10:17-18
But he who glories, let him glory in the LORD. For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

so often i have the wrong perspective...i need to look at my actions and motives from God's point of view. I've realized that i've been pushing God to the back burner b/c i'm "too busy". That is such a lame excuse...i just need to prioritize my time better. *sigh* The day that i'm face to face with God in heaven i do not want to make any excuses for not hungering and thirsting after His word. I guess i'm so blessed that i've been taking for granted what i have. it's like i only want to turn to God when i'm experiencing problems, but when life is good i don't need Him anymore and start taking things into my own hands. It may sound strange, but one of the best times of my life was when my dad had cancer. I was totally dependant on Christ, because i was helpless and there was nothing i could do to heal my dad. Yes, i'm very thankful that my dad is now in remission, but i haven't been as diligent about "trusting in the Lord with all my heart". So all this to say that my goal for the remainder of the semester is to hand Jesus the steering wheel and fully rely on Him for the strength to finish strong and give Him the glory He deserves. I have so much to learn....God's patience with me is truly amazing!
I hope everyone has/had a refreshing spring break...God bless!
