An old post of mine that has struck my heart

Getting what u want isn't always cool
Aug 25, 2006 3:30 PM

You know.I've prayed a long time for various gifts, for various job opportunities and for success. For people. For a lot of things. I wonder if it's sometimes good to get what you want. Maybe you can't handle it. I've prayed for a certain number of students and hours at work quickly, and I got it. I've prayed for certain spiritual gifts for 2 years. i'm actually gettin them and growing them.i've prayed for gigs once a week that bring in some cash. I've prayed to be able tor ecord and use my talents and abilities.I'm actually gettiung them, double fold now.Much more than what i wantor ask for even. I've prayed for many things. And i'm seeing answers to many of them. These are all good things.And i'm thoroughly grateful to God. But i wonder, right now, can i actually handle what i'm asking for? Is that why God held it back so long? Perhaps he knew the real desires of my heart. And it's not these things. Sure success is awesome. But in the end, what do i want but to abandon myself to God.Forever...... The only thing that satisfies. But thank you God...and give me strength to handle whatever that you've given me.

More Faith....in a GOOD GOD

Today, Miss '爆炸头' - a.k.a Winnie, a chick with a HUGE afro-ish Scary Spice hair-do prayed for me. She doesn't know me, but turned around after service and offered to pray for me. A few things came up during the prayer. She didn't specifically prophesy. But the way she was praying, she was getting stuff from the Spirit. She prayed Prov 4:18 ( The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day)  over me, for some time, stating that God would lead me, and the path would become brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer. I was to have faith. More faith that God would lead me safely and surely. She also stated the need to seek God even more through prayer for his presence and guidance (guilty. It's been difficult to be disciplined about prayer). She prayed and declared that my work would be the platform for many good things God wanted to do through me. The work and the position I had in my work was important, she...
