Arguing with God

I think one of the dumbiest things to do is argue with God. Some may not believe in God so I'm guessing this isnt for you. So before some of you get offended, or tell me what you may think of my God; He's YOUR God too! I just choose to believe He is. I am not ashamed to be a God fearing, BOLD women in Christ and NOTHING will ever change that. So despite what you may feel, here is my view.

God our creator knows best. We may think we can control our lives, our marriages, & our kids but the creator of the world definitly has it all in control without a shadow of a doubt. He has a GREAT plan for our lives (Jeramiah 29:11) and fighting it will just take you longer to get their but you will eventually get there. I'll give you an example; my husband Richard Jason was called to be a Pastor at a very young age but took other roads in his life but yet that calling stayed within him all these years. After much darkness, he will finally be a Pastor this coming year. Not really that he argued with God about being a Pastor but he definitly didn't embrace the calling then. 

Just as it says here in this scripture; Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be So there's no use arguing with God about your destiny. Ecclesiastes 6:10

As for me, well I honestly never really felt like I had a calling on my life. I was raised semi - catholic, meaning my parents would go at the regular holidays & when they needed advice in their marriage. I did feel a special thing with God from a very young age but nothing more than a need for safety. I can remember praying to God from my closet at like age 7, to stop my parents from fighting. I seemed to meet Him there often.

I first became a born again Christian in 1996 and ever since then God never stopped coming for me. Oh that would be because I fell away three times. I first started a relationship with the Lord in my first marriage. I wanted help to change my husband so our marriage could be better. Yea well when He didnt work in him in the time I thought it should take, I walked away.

Even now, about to become a Pastors wife. My tongue still tries to argue with God saying, "Um are you sure I am to be a Pastors wife?" "Lord I know you heard me try & manipulate my 19 year old son just tonight to get back in church cause he doesnt know whats good for him" "Oh and remember me yelling at the 9 year old daughter 3 weeks ago for trying to sell our DVD's". That is just some of the crazyness in me. Much more where that comes from. I'm a real person with a real family. "Yes you heard all that & still you want me & my family to do great things for you Kingdom" Okay done arguing for today. Dumb of me to even try. Lol!  

Look your not going to do it right all the time. But the less you arguing the closier you get to Him & the more time you can actually enjoy the life He has for you.
