May 18th

We did an overview of Song of Solomon in class today.  We're spending the rest of the week on that.

This morning, a thought....

God doesn't always fix situations He changes our heart.  Its like I clued in.  I pray because someone is irritating and overbearing, but I have to deal with them daily.  I figure God's going to fix the situation - make it so that I don't have to deal with that person.  Nope He doesn't.  I'm so fixated on God changing the situation and ticked off that He doesn't - I miss what He is actually trying to do which is change my heart.  And, because nothing actually happens - I think God is not answering my prayers.  Whereas the truth is - He is trying to answer and I won't let Him because I'm too busy trying to get the answer I want.  

If instead of working to get the answer I want - I let God do His thing, my heart would change, I wouldn't be annoyed and the situation would be resolved - FASTER !  Maybe even as fast I would like it to be resolved.
