Giving God the pen

giving God the pen...it's never easy....but then again..nobody ever said it was...it's not because i don't trust Him...I mean..after all he's done for me...how can i not trust Him. I guess it's a sense of ...i want to control my own life. pride..selfishness...*sigh...gotta work on it...i was thinking of this when i was walking home...i got the privledge to walk home today..and i actually wanted to...it was nice out...why not...=) but yes...
God's like an artist...painting a grand masterpiece of a certain place...the paint being maybe certain people or things that just bless one's day =) An artist not only has different colors, but different brushes, with different edges and sizes to create different strokes and effects. Us serving is kinda like..being those paintbrushes. God uses us in awesome ways to bless people's lives. However, we cannot do it alone. In order to complete this masterpiece, God's gotta use other paintbrushes too. =)
When something goes wrong...or you don't think you're doing enough...dont' be so hard on yourselves...i mean yes...we can all do a lot =) maybe even better sometimes...but God will use us in His plan where He sees fit =) it might not always be up to you =) it's not even your masterpiece to finish, but God's.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"
-Jeremiah 29:11
