AM I A CRAZY LADY?

Galatians 3:3 says, "Only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God."Well, call me crazy! It seems ridiculous to not try and finish a job which has not been finished yet, especially when one can see it would be better if it were finished now. More than one person has intimated that it was my job to "Pull yourself up!; Stand straight and tall! You can do it! It just takes a little will power!" "Yes, but even Popeye said, "I yam what I yam!" Perhaps, like Popeye, part of me refuses to change. Yet, I swear to those who may be reading this,"I would really like to change!" I would like to be a person who can handle all irritations with serenity and kindness. But it doesn't seem to happen, and I don't quite know how to make it happen. Am I crazy? NO! But, I do need to remember to have faith that God will not let me down. My faith cannot be in who I am, but in who God is. And God will use me as He wills and change me if he wants. Now, doesn't that sound crazy? It may, but it's not! LordGod, sometimes I am a puzzle even to myself. Have mercy on me and keep me grounded in faith in you so that I can accept whatever you wish to do with me. Amen. Have you been troubled with questions about unanswered prayer, too? Probably so. But Let's hold each other up in prayer, so we do not fail the faith that we have been given. God has reasons that we rarely understand and yet we must hang on to the precious faith He has given us. Jo INMN
