Learning the hard way....

I have learned the hard way not to be so stubborn and hard headed. If you ask Philip I am very stubborn and hard headed, and if my mind is made up there is no changing it, no way, no how. When I am of strong opinion of something, I can plant my feet in the ground, and give no room to be budged. My daddy told my husband on our wedding day, I will pray for you, you will need it to deal with my stubborn and hard headed daughter, I love her, but there won't be very many battles you will win with her. HA. Love my daddy, but dang he could have scared the poor man away. But after being with me for 3 1/2 years already, I think he already knew. Bless his heart. HA! Don't take this as me being all out mean, because I am not. I believe I am loving, nurturing, a person who loves everyone, and a person who takes pride in the family and friends in my life, I am a Christian, working on the strong part as we speak, and there is more I could say, but then I would feel as if I am being boastful, or proud, and I am not gonna go there. My point is this, I learned these past few weeks, there is one area in my life I can not be stubborn or hard headed about, it is my walk with God, because he is leading the way and showing me my path. This has been so hard, because the first thing I want to do is dig my feet in the ground, and not be budged. Well it ain't happening, and God shows me this, I have met my match. Low and behold, there is someone out there, who can outwit my stubborness. God does work miracles. Ben Beasley preached Sunday morning, and his message was great, he said we as Christians are God's love letters to man, what does my letter say to man, would my love letter woo a non-believer to become a believer, I am unsure, and I know I better get sure real quick. I need my light to shine and I need people to see me shine. I pray for this daily. I know God is working on my heart and he is showing me where my direction in life needs to go, and I am sure when my stubborness kicks in, I will have to be guided back to the right direction. Pray for me in my walk with God, that I will allow him to have complete control, and that I will not dig my feet in the ground so far I can not be budged, pray I will try new things, I will not be afraid, and I accept wholeheartedly my spiritual growth.
