a good mantra

so a great mantra to live by that just got revived in my mind tonight at discipleship...sparked by the question, what does it mean to place yourself under the authority of your spiritual leaders? surrender...rob's best logic and good logic too...you have to believe if you are doing  best you can and the Lord will take care of the rest...if you are doing something the best that you can and something still manages to happen against what you were anticipating or hoping for it is all part of a bigger [better] plan.  


use all your God given talents and do the best you can.  God isn't expecting us to be perfect. you have to take responsibility for your life to be a good disciple. be the better person, strive to do what you would want others to do for you, be understanding and appreciate differences, and don't be secretive about being a disciple of the Lord.


so tonight going to bed early for a change and reminding myself that i am going to do the best [with discipleship/work/marriage/friends/family/commitments/life] i can and sleep peacefully knowing God will take care of the rest. 


Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

-Joshua 1:9

Amen!
