So I'm learning more lessons about life again...here are some more insights that you are probably figuring out in your life too. So God has provided for me in some great ways this week...and has showed Himself to me...mainly financially. For that I am thankful. There has been some little blessings and answers to prayer that are just evidence to me again that God is taking care of me and knows about the little details of my life :). He will always provide! I am also learning to not be so competetive...not always trying to be the best. We aren't to compare ourselves to others or strive to be well known and well acclaimed. Our job is to serve where Jesus has asked us to serve. It doesn't matter what people think. We aren't asked to be the best missionary, the most spiritual pastor, the teacher with the best class, the most talented athlete or artist, the most beautiful woman, or have the most friends. What matters is how we serve God and if we are doing what He has asked us to do. Tonight the chapel leader said something that hit me hard. He said, "You are the only one that can do what you are doing...God is equipping you to do exactly what He wants to you do. Why do we try to compare ourselves to others?" It almost took my breath away. Learning Spanish can almost be a competition down here...among other "opportunities" to try to be the best. But that's not important. God is equipping me with everything that I need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). I will receive what I need to serve Him best...not what I think I need, not necessarily what I want. If we are all created to do different things and carry out what God has asked us to do personally, why do we compare ourselves with others?
