We need to yield our lives to God. Just like when we're driving a car, and we're
told to yield. We put our foot on the brake and acknowledge the fact that we
don't have the right of the way. We need to do this same thing with our lives-
acknowledge the fact that we don't have "the right of way" in our lives...
God does.
For some reason, that hit me in the head like a 2 by 4. As much as I've tried to give up every single part of my life to God, there are still things that I just really want to have control over. I feel like God's been using the song "Center"to get that idea across to me. HE needs to be the center of my life. Not my schooling. Not my boyfriend. Not my future. But GOD and GOD alone.
This semester has been an huge eye opener for me. I have the first healthy relationship that I've ever had with a guy, and it's been so encouraging. I have amazing friends in my life that are constantly building me up and loving me. I have a family that I've gotten so much closer with as I "grow up." Since being back from the Philippines, I've grown so much as a person and in my relationship with God. God's closed quite a few doors for me this year, but it's just taught me to trust him and to accept the fact that he has a plan that is bigger and better than I could have EVER imagined...and THAT is why he needs to be the center of my life.
Since I'm on a picture editing kick (since I haven't had time to do anything else photography related recently)...here's the lyrics to "Center." I hope they encourage you as much as they've encouraged me :)
