As I (try to) plan my future I have to keep in mind that any knowledge that I gain, any achievements that I make, any awards that I win, should be for God's glory, not my own or the Greenman family. Sometimes I catch myself thinking up hard ways to live life to be able to create opportunities for myself to grow. If God wants me to grow in a certain way, he will make it happen. That takes trust in knowing that he knows what is going on and that my adventure is slowly and patiently finding out what that is. I've been thinking a lot lately about the order of actions. Many times we pray to God, "Please Lord, bless us this day as we ____." Instead, we should be searching what the Lord wants and asking, "What do you want me to do?" That way, we automatically know what we do will be blessed. Not easy, but blessed.
The funny thing is...this whole post makes the first seven words of the paragraph completely and utterly pointless...which is pretty cool. Renee wouldn't approve grammatically though.
