| I have learned that I must accept with joy all that my God will allow to happen to me on the way and everything to which the path will lead me. I am never to try and evade it but to accept it and lay down my own will. I have also learned that I must bear all that others are allowed to do against me and to forgive with no trace of bitterness. I am to bear it all with love that I may receive power to bring good out of evil. |

| We Christians get turned around. We spend our time, energy, and resources on the outer person. And we miss God. That’s why there are times in our lives when it seems like He’s so far away. Think about it. Most of our prayers have to do with our health, our wealth, and our social life. And when we experience a setback or grow impatient, we say, “God where are you?”
At the same time, we fail to pray for the things that will benefit us for eternity. If God answered all of our prayers, our character would suffer. For in most cases, our prayers center around the removal of the very circumstances He is using to conform us to His image.

| I, Hattie, choose to be a servant of God. Servant: Bond-servant, Motivated by love, (and the one that hits home) willing to give up ones own will for the will of the one they serve. |

| I stopped listening to God today, I closed my eyes and turned away. I'm tired of all the pain I feel, I'm tired of constantly making an appeal. God... where, where are You? I feel my break is long overdue. |

| I have to learn to let go and trust in You, to breath in me life anew. To break down my walls and reach my core Just to show me, why I was worth dieing for. |
