Pride & Control

It's funny, because i know that God always listens when i speak.
I also know that He speaks and oftentimes i don't listen.
But what really amazes me is how much He says, by saying so little.
Tonight this is what He said to me...
You say you want My will.
You say you want to do My work...
But you say only if you do it.
I guess the title says it all...

Sorry for the confusion. I pulled out the origional quote that i had written down during the service and fixed the post. It's a bit more accurate and hopefully a bit more understandable.

Basically the idea is that i have told God that i want His will in my life and i want to do the work that He has called me to do. I say that, but at the same time i am trying to and expecting God to do it my way.

It shows the problem of pride that i have (I have to do it) and how i'm still trying to be in control of what i've told Him i've given to Him (I have to do it).
I basically asked Him what the problem was, and He called me out on it.

I was hoping to relate that without going into a long explanation, but i guess it didn't work as well as the real situation.

I understand what you are saying but I'm your sister so it probably explains it. By the way, you haven't made any recent comments to my site. I have been commenting about the same ideas. What a coincidence.

Actually, i haven't really make comments on just about anyones sites. I just haven't had the time lately. Work has been really, really hectic and i wanted to get away from spending the evenings writing as it tends to mean that i ignore the kids if i am blogging or commenting online, and right now the priority is more about the family than the argument, comment, or debate.
