Go With the Flow

Listening to? Glow -Britt Nicole

Smelling? Both the vanilla and cappuccino scented candles in my room. and something weird too, not sure what that is.

I think I may have a problem.

I can be pretty stubborn.

It's not that I've just realized this,

I just came to the conclusion that maybe it's not a good thing.

You see, I'm an only child. That can cause some problems with sharing and allowing others to have their way when making plans or other such things. Don't get me wrong! I love hanging out and doing what others do, but usually I like to go by my ideas of what we should do. Like for example, I hateeee spending money to do basically anything. It gets kinda hard to have fun when you don't like to go out and do anything. Now, I will spend a pretty penny on food, but that's my weakness. :) The movies really aren't my favorite thing because they're so expensive, if you want to go to the nice ones. I wait for movies to get into the dollar theater. And even then it's rare that I'll go see one. This weekend I'm going bowling. It's decently expensive too, unfortunately. But I'm super excited.

Anyways, so. Are you stubborn about anything? (like me) Or do you just go with the flow? I was thinking today, that the extreme of either is not good. Mostly, the extreme of anything is never good.

Example? Too much food vs. too little food.

Well this one is a little bit obvious. Too much food is very unhealthy,

Too little, is also unhealthy, maybe even more so.

Too stubborn vs. going with the flow

Stubbornism never ever gets you anywhere. Not being open to listen to what people

have to say does you absolutely no good and only gets people mad at you.

Going with the flow shows little character and belief in yourself and whatever you've

put your faith in.

Too much power vs. no say in anything

Well, let's just look at government. It's my opinion that if the gov. has it's hand in too

many public affairs things just don't go right. Ever heard of laizze-faire? That's when

the government lets things go their own way. It means "to let be".

No say in anything, kinda like the government having too much power. If one person

or one group of people have all the power and no one else has the say in anything

things don't turn out well.

One thing I have realized, though, is that you CANNOT have too much faith.

Isaiah 7:7- ".. if you don't take your stand in faith, you won't have a leg to stand on."

Matthew 8: 10- (This verse is sad to me,) "Those who grew up 'in the faith', but had no faith will find themselves out in in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what happened."

(have you made your faith your own?)

Luke 7:50- "Your faith has saved you."

Luke 17:5- The apostles came up and said to the Master, "Give us more faith."

May i just say, the verse above, is beautiful.

That's my daily prayer. I hope it's yours too. :)

Have a great weekend.
