Unicorn


My roommate wanted to be a unicorn when she was little.
This one turned out to be one of my favorites.

on an unrelated note.....

I found this verse in Isaiah chapter 26

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock. He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city. He brings it down to the dust."
-I think the book of Isaiah is one of my favorite books of the Bible. It just has some awesome verses.

I am all the time failing at what God calls me to do and feel bad about it when I don't do what I should. Then I remember that God really doesn't need me. Who am I to think that I am so high and mighty to think that the world will fall to pieces if I don't do the right thing. 

And man do I struggle with my walk with God, yet don't we all? Like, reading my Bible for instance, I HATE to read. I wish I loved to read but it has always been a struggle to sit down and just read... mainly because I am SO SLOW at it. Therefore I am all the time going through this struggle cycle of reading the Bible and not reading the Bible. Yet when I read it I feel so refreshed and a peace throughout my day. 

Do you ever pray and then get done with your prayer and think, "wow, that was an awesome prayer! I am so good at praying right now.... I bet God really like that one! I am such a good person!" and then think after you thought that... "woah, I don't pray to be in good standing with God! What a doofus I am! I need to ask for forgiveness" and then pray for forgiveness for thinking so arrogantly and then think that you are such a good person for praying for forgiveness? Then you start to think "man, I am an awesome person again, I just asked for forgiveness for thinking I was such a good person because I prayed, I'm doing awesome!" and the cycle continues on and on.... hahaha, What an idiot I am sometimes. 

I bet God gets a good laugh out of us a lot!

  1. Yes, I do imagine we give God a good laugh. I tend think he laughs with us though once we realize we're being a bit retarded about it all :-)

    Thanks for the verse. I laugh Isaiah too.
