Who can you trust?

Blogging on a computer for the whole world to see (or the 3 people who will read this) seems very strange to me. Trying to put into words what is going on inside your mind in such a way that it makes sense to other people will probably prove to be more stress than I want to add to my already stressful life. With that in mind - I am not going to try extremely hard to sound articulate or to attempt to shed some new light on some age old question. Rather, I am simply going to write about whatever I am thinking about at that particular time. Sometimes that will be serious - sometimes it will be funny - sometimes it will be completely random - and it is probably at that moment that you will discover a little bit about my mind. That being said - welcome to my world...

On a serious note....have you ever noticed how often we try to sabotage ourselves? Good intentioned people always tell us when we are making a decision to "follow our heart." The sad reality about that advice is that the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 17:9 that "our heart is deceitfully wicked - who can know it?" I don't know about you but following my heart has gotten me in quite a bit of trouble over the years. Even worse, there is constantly a battle going on in my mind as I try to decipher who I trust more - my heart or my God. Don't get me wrong; I know the right answer to that question - but sometimes living out the truth is easier said than done. I don't have it all together. The good news is - God and I are working on my problems together. He is not only encouraging me - He is helping me as well.
