Daniel

Daniel has always been my hero.  So much so, that I named my first son after him.  This year I wanted to study the book of Daniel with some dear friends so that I could better understand him and me.  Even though I studied, read and journaled, I did not learn as much as I had hoped, about Daniel anyway.  I did learn this though:  no matter what lion's den we are thrown in, if He chooses,
God will rescue me.

 

This year, I believe qualifies for a lion's den. I have lost hair, lowered my GPA, learned the true meaning of stress and constantly felt (feel) like I'm on the edge of a nervous breakdown.  However, through it all, God has taught me a lot about myself and how I cannot depend on myself, but on Him. 

 

More on this topic later, though.

 

On this day, I am once again confronted by my laziness and lackadaisical attitude toward what I know God is talking to me about.

 

More on this topic later, too.  For now, I will think and pray about these things then talk about them.

Signing out.
