I screwed up!

The most difficult thing that I have ever had to say was "I screwed up."  It seems as though I have been saying that a LOT over the last couple of years.  I screwed up when I left a job that, even though I was angry and bitter over a stupid, temporary circumstance, I loved deep down in my soul.  I screwed up when I took the job in a St. Louis County school district.  I screwed up when I bought a junk truck, and then a brand new car.  For too long, I've prayed the prayer of "God, if it's not your will, please close the door" and would leave it at that.  That has been a copout for not truly listening to the Lord.  Again, I screwed up.  When you're out of practice of really listening to that still, small voice, you will invariably find yourself in a heap of trouble.

I changed the title of my blog from "Education with Service at Heart" to "Education for the Heart" with this post.  I did this because I believe that I have a duty to teach. That duty is being extended to you about how you can better navigate life when the Almighty is placed at the forefront.  This is something that I am working to become better at, and it going to be difficult.  The most amazing part of my walk with Christ is that his Grace covers all of my shortcomings, including all of those times that "I screwed up!"  Yes, I left an awesome job, with awesome people that I still love like family, and would love to go back, if it's truly what God wants for me.  I did go to that district in the county and meet some of my most trusted friends who are believers and helped to encourage me when I need it the most.  I have to recognize that Grace covers us even when we don't deserve it.  I definitely don't deserve it.

In Joshua 1:5, the Lord says that He will be with us and not forsake us, and will be with us always.  I am trusting that.  I am also believing that God will see to my success in this life when I change my  way of thinking and seek him first, something that has been needed for far too long.  Because of the truth in Joshua 1:8-9, I will get to see my screw-ups change for my benefit.  You can see that happen in your life, also.  Let's do this!
