Go with what you know....


Had a nice weekend. Went to the Chonda Pierce concert Saturday night. It was nice to spend time with friends and have a good time. Not sure my mom enjoyed it...she came with my sister...but I hope that she did. We really didn't get to sit together much. Only got to talk a little during the intermission of the concert and a teensy at dinner.

The concert was funny...Chonda was funny...her opening act Ken (forget his last name) was funny too. The major thing though that I go out of her concert was when she talked about going through depression...she mentioned about how Satan wants nothing moreto get us down so we do nothing...feel nothing...do nothing. That God spoke to her and told her, "Go with what you know...not what you feel." A lot of what I have been going through the last few months, though I'm not sure that it's depression....but I have had some depressing days. And it's true...Satan wants us to be ineffective. And a lot of what I have been dealing with is how I've been feeling instead of what I know...that God is in control and He has a plan for everything...He has everything planned out. Instead of getting up in the morning and feeling bad about myself...I need to go with what I know and that is that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. It was like a lightbulb turned on in my head. Like a cloud had been lifted...like the sun was peeking through the clouds....you know I can't remember a single joke that Chonda said Saturday night, but that statement she made was worth the trip plus $ 16.50 admission price. Go with what you know....

May you as you go through your day...if you find yourself feeling down...go with what you know...not how you feel. God is in control!
