When life hands you lemons, make lemonade…but for a profit

Submitted by Manwell on Wed, 08/25/2010 - 8:00am.

So we’ve all been in those seasons where we question the existence of a deity who claims to love us and want the best for us. We wonder if we’ll ever get past this divorce? Will this break up be the last time we actually get a decent boyfriend/girlfriend? Is this job all I’m destined for? Will I ever make enough money to feed a family? Lost in these parallel universes of questions and doubt, we start to let the foundations of our faith be shaken.

Humility

It's funny how God uses the worst situations to produce the best results in your character. What a paradox that is. When I try to step into the mind of God for just a second, I find myself completely exasperated and in need of major guidance. Why use the worst to produce the best? Why death? Why make us fallible? Why, why, why…and this is the answer I got…I AM.

More Than Just Slogans

It's 2:34am, and I'm up in my hotel room thinking about life and our recent stint on the road and i can't help but wonder why in the world God has been so kind to us. It's perplexing and yet incredibly humbling. There's so much that we have to be thankful for that I can't stop thinking on Him and his goodness. I know that may seem cliche, but there comes a point in your life, where as a believer, you come face to face with every cliche you've ever heard raised in the church. "Jesus is all I need," "I can't go on without Him," "He's number one, before ministry, before anything"...

Guilty by Association

I’m up early after last nights 3rd Dove Awards win and I can only think of one thing I failed to do properly; praise God that we won another Dove and that we’re still able to live our dream. You see when they interviewed me about how I felt last night all I could talk about was how I was already looking for a Grammy next year! I know seeing into your future and hoping for Gods best within in that realm is a good thing, but honestly I’m upset that I didn’t praise Him for my present state. To be honest, the future is the Lords, one in which I may not see on this side of life.
