"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." - Proverbs 16:9
It's comforting that it's all in His hands, and not in mine.
I've been studying Marketing off and on today. One of the questions on our study guide reads, "In the consumer buying process, what is the information source in which consumers normally have the most confidence?" That's an easy one: our friends, our family, people we know. It just makes sense that we put the most faith in the opinions of people who have our best interests in mind. Surely my mom knows what's better for me than the clerk at the grocery store, my roommate better than the sales associate at Express, my teacher better than the boy behind the counter at the bookstore.
So if that's true, why is it that we trust ourselves more than we trust the one who knows us the most, the one who knows us the best, not the one who theoretically would die for us, but the one who did? I can't help but imagine it -- what would happen if I put my life fully in God's hands? Not just the things I want to give Him, but everything, every ounce of it. What would that look like?
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." - Proverbs 16:3

skoci, I have a question: why, as a Christian, do you read teenfashionista when Proverbs 31:30 says that outward beauty is worthless to God?
-hugs- Sarah! I'm glad I can comment now! Unfortunately I have nothing to say. I read this but my brain is fried and so I'll have to reread it later. Just wanted to let you know that I love you so much! Good luck on your last final!

skoci, would you do me a favor? Would you please read Galatians 5:16-24 and Matthew 5:27-30?
You can email me your response at blacka2j@yahoo.com, unless you want to continue to communicate by blogger comments, lol.
