I hadn't even realized. (Believe it or not, I have absolutely no talent for the mechanical and vocal aspects of songwriting; when it comes to poetry, I take a topic and run with it, and the basic rhyme and meter quickly fall into place. Must be a true spiritual gift!)Katherine Swartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133720385796139281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791562878511321532.post-81636684345970823952011-04-25T16:26:19.810-07:002011-04-25T16:26:19.810-07:00And we're always trying to "write our own...And we're always trying to "write our own days," aren't we--as if God had appointed us His editors? It SHOULD be a relief that we DON'T have to accept responsibility for controlling the world--even just our small corner of it.<br /><br />Time management is an interesting balancing act for a Christian, and I've lost count of the number of TM articles written by Christians that forget to mention "if the Lord wills." It may go without saying to many, but those of us who tend to let our schedules control us need the reminder!Katherine Swartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133720385796139281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791562878511321532.post-26771548290086179542011-04-23T07:26:01.430-07:002011-04-23T07:26:01.430-07:00Unfortunately we do sometimes sinfully have kinda ...Unfortunately we do sometimes sinfully have kinda a "small God" problem - I (and my standards) am big and God is small - too small to fulfill His promises. When we read in Ps 139 that before I was even born all my days were ALREADY written in the book of life, it points to how futile our frustration and impatience are. So! When we read Is 46:9-10, we can either choose to believe God or not, then we choose to take our thoughts captive to make them obedient to Christ. A life long endeavor for sure, one that requires almost moment by moment training. I'm thankful that while God does not expect us to be perfect, He does expect us to be growing and changing.
