Overthinker...Me? No way..Well..Maybe..A Little...

Someone dear to me said that I am an "overthinker." Well, that is quite possibly very true. Maybe.... I think...I don't know....Sort of. ( LOL) But what I DO know, is that second guessing God can be costly. When Peter stepped out of that boat, it was dangerous and frightening, those waves and that wind, but he didn't see them. His eyes latched onto the One who created the very water he stepped into. But then he let the "overthinking" begin. And down (gulp) he went. I guess we all know people who "know" the Bible and quote it often, but they don't really believe what it says. Not one of us is perfect. But I'm talking about stepping out there on faith. Like going against the grain of your flesh. "Well, you know if God didn't want me to do this, He wouldn't have given me these desires." Oh come on, we all have  wrong desires. We are to bring that flesh to the Cross. I know it's not easy. I failed just recently. I had been asking God to use me and give me a purpose in life, again. Well wouldn't you know. God opens a door. A challenge that meant change. Then the fears and the "overthinking" began,  I felt myself going down, down. But like Peter, Jesus reached out and took my hand and pulled me up. He helps us when we fail him. I want to be spiritual enough to recognize the hand of God and jump at the chance to trust him. And that's my prayer for you also. "For without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6
