This is What I Get?

Ok folks. You remember when I got in my accident? Yeah, well...I am heading to court for it on Friday. I guess I'm going for the driving without insurance?? Not exactly sure about that. But, I do know 2 things about that day: 1. I'm really nervous! 2. God has a plan and will be with me. Maybe they should be in opposite order...but for now, that's how things stand. I am soo happy that it's in the morning, and that I don't have all day to stress over it before it happens. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. :)
On a different note, my family found a house!!! Yay! It's all going rather fast, actually. Dad and I will be moving into the house starting the 19th, and the family is expected to make the big move by the 25th!!! I am SOOO happy right now, y'all! Phew, this is gonna be a fun ride. I've been enjoying my own room and bathroom for the past few months, commodities that are unavailable at the new house. But, I get my family, and that I am willing to trade a bathroom for. :) *I might need reminding in a few weeks.*

So, God is doing huge things in me right now. I was recently convicted of a bitterness in my attitude towards God, concerning my circumstances. And my wise mother kindly pointed out, the things I am bitter about are consequences of some of my bad decisions. So, if I'm going to be angry, be angry at me. Basically, that's what she said. Haha. (Moms are so awesome. With love, they bang you over the head, and you thank them for it. :] )And, while this is entirely true, I do believe that in all this that's going on, God's purposes of my sanctification are being played out. I realized that I've PRAYED for all this to happen; I've prayed for God to break me, mold me and make me more like him. Yeah, I asked for this!! But did I mean it? This made me stop. Wow. We all pray to be sanctified, to be conformed to the image of Christ, sure. But do we blame God and shake our fist at him when things get hard? God never promised things would be easy for the Christian...he only said he would be with us every step. So, I ask you: do you know what you are asking for? When you pray for these things, what do you think it means? These questions have changed my whole perspective on trials. Because believe me, I don't think I knew what I was getting when I prayed to be more like Christ! The coolest part of all this mess that my life seems like right now, is that I know that all this is inside God's plan for me. NOTHING that happens to any of us is outside of his will. He means us good, not harm, and his IS making us more like Jesus. How comforting is that?! Whoa. That is powerful stuff.
My parting thoughts for us all: drive carefully! :) And let the Lord work in you. Be an empty vessel, and trust Him to make you more like himself. Let go of the control you think you have, and let him work in and through you. That's the goal, what we hope and long for. Harder said than done, as I well know. But for me, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Jesus.
