...the thought i cant get rid of...

pfffff

lately i've been unable to rid myself of this thought, or series of thoughts.
and that is...NOTHING we do, without exception, nothing we want or think about, is deserved. and this has been pulling on my heart lately.
ive been feeling frustrated or cheated by my life and it's happenings, and i've realized...so what?!

if every moment is a gift. who are we to complain about ANY moment?
in youth group for example, and rock the river, i have been feeling frustrated about how monotonous the announcements are seeming to be come, and how broken record like they seem to sound. but it's such a good message and ministry, i feel like stupid's stupider younger brother.

the moment i laid back and let Christ lead me, i all of a sudden was talking to a friend from work who's interested in church and christianity, and now, i'm going to this incredible christian concert with him.

so from experience...i want to encourage anyone and everyone who reads this (i don't care if you do cuz it makes me feel better) to realize everything you have, was not gained by merit or right. it was a gift from our sovereign savior, and THAT, is something to cherish.

thanks
