Yeah it is a lesson I constantly forget and then get angry about because my efforts seem to fall flat. God is good enough to keep giving me mercy though.

Thanks, yeah it is a real struggle for me. I keep trying to be God to people, well I keep trying to do the things God is supposed to do which is that same thing and pretty prideful. Oops.

yeah and I still don’t like the idea of a neti pot, but I did see the dentist and get the actual problem resolved so far as I can tell. This year hasn’t been one long sinus infection at least.

Thanks, I share your frustration and I pay for most of my kids every day. I even pray for a lot of the ones I’ve only met once or twice and don’t know their names. I’m very visual so I remember their faces and stuff. Kinda weird I guess praying to God for that boy that came that was wearing that jacket with the frayed tassels (btw this is not an actual description) but I figure He knows who I’m talking about.

I tend to be the person that starts working on things before consulting God. I felt convicted about it to the point that I try to pray about everything I do even if it seems like a small thing. I am working against a lifetime of habit so I’m not always successful, but I read about Israel going to battle without consulting God first and things going really bad even if it looks good for them before the battle on paper.
