"I"

During a conversation with a good friend (who also happens to be my Pastor), he pointed out to me that I was using the word "I" a lot. He didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, it was just an observation. I have been thinking about that little word, off and on, for a while now, and what that meant. This morning I caught myself thinking the ususal, "I can do this, I am going to do this, (lose weight, keep my priorities straight, etc) because I have God in my life and His strength, determination, etc. Then it hit me; COMPLETE SUBMISSION! God's little way of saying to me, "Your still not getting it!"

My thinking is all wrong. "I" can't. God can! God is the only one who can change me. I know I have said that in my last blog, but sometimes things will become a realized fact in my mind before it becomes a truth in my heart that I truly understand and convicts me.

Now don't get me wrong, the "I" still has to be there. "I" have to LET Him; Complete Submission. "I" have been trying to still hold on to control. Let go and let God.

A new phrase to store in my thought closet; God can and "I" will let Him.
