Oh the Piano

My teacher has been having me learn 3 new songs a week. I have the ability, but I usually only do one... oops. Anyway, this week was Rejoice In the Lord, God Makes No Mistakes, and He Knoweth the Way. I worked on God Makes No Mistakes. It's amazing how just the right song at the just the right time can have an effect on you. God makes no mistakes. We do, but He doesn't. He put you in the place you are now for a reason, it's not a mistake. He gave you the friends you have for a reason, it's not a mistake. He put you in the family you're in for a reason, it's not a mistake.
Think about that. What do you dislike about your life? It's not a mistake on God's part. Don't like where you are, who you are? It's not God's fault. He has a reason. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that He has plans for us. He's perfect, it's not like He's going to mess up those plans.
I think too often we want to blame God for all of our problems, but the real problem is the corruption of sin. If your parents are abusive, it's not God's fault. Sin corrupted your parents. If a loved one dies, it's not God's fault. A time is appointed to everyone for death. Because of sin, death entered into the world. So why are we so bent on blaming God for everything?
If my brother were to die soon, I'd be devastated, but it wouldn't be God's fault. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy to not want to be mad at God, but that's when we have to step back and realize He's taking care of us through everything we're going through. He makes no mistakes.

Well Hey There...

Guess what! Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia is the deepest lake in the world! Of course, this information probably means nothing to you, but I thought I'd tell you anyway.

So, I'm slightly confused as to why the archaic idea that a 19 year old not in a relationship means a life full of loneliness. Nineteen, even eighteen, is not a cutting off point, but usually a starting point. Knowing how stupid and foolish I am, I really don't think I should pursue any relationship not brought by God is a wise idea. In fact, it's pretty stupid. So, in an effort to get this off my chest, I conclude this post. Good night!
