How Do You Respond to God?

I just want to know how people respond to God when He calls them to do things that they do not want to do? I know that I don't respond the way a child should respond to a loving Father who knows what is best for them. I cry and complain. Fighting with Him and telling Him that I know better than He. I do finally comply but not until something happens to make me realize that I better obey or else. I find myself wishing that I were not a 'brat' and wondering how God can be so patient. I am so thankful that God is a loving parent, way more patient than I am with my own children, and always willing to forgive me when I sin.

Thank you Father.

Thank God For Friends

I am just thanking God for the friends He has put in my life at this point in time. I have been truly blessed by everyone of them. Today alone I received words of encouragement, a tip about free furniture, and even some stories to chuckle over. God know what we need and when we need it and He know who to send to provide for those needs. I pray that someday I can be the one to bless my friends with something that they need.
