Awesome Conversations...

I know it's only been a few hours (if that) since my last post but I just wanted to say that I heart awesome conversations. I was talking with one of my best friends online tonight about the backseat Jesus and God in a box. I just wanted to put it on here.



ME: God's pretty smart, and it's going to be in his time, not ours and most of the time that is really hard for me...[I like to drive my life, I like to have a plan]...and when you're in the drivers seat you have a backseat Jesus and that's not okay

Her: he's opening the car door and trying to sit down in the drivers seat and I'm like no- He's like GET IN THE PASSENGER SEAT

ME: this is so totally what we talked about this week...how we have so often put Jesus in a box and said, okay well if i need you, i'll know where you're at but otherwise you just stay here so that no one knows that you're with me...and we tend to pray harder and more often when things are bad, but when God finally gives us what we want or what we've been praying for, then we forget all about him and he goes back in the box...because we have this image of god in our head and we've shrank our thought of how big he should be in our lives so that he fits in our pocket or in our box

Her: but think of the trouble we would be in if God really did fit in a box...but he doesnt-hes amazing and ever so forgiving



I love the changes I can feel in my life :)
