Living A Full Life
by Stephanie Bruckner

1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

I really did feel that living for God would mean giving up a full life. There had to be a way to keep doing all of the things that I wanted to do and fit in a couple of things for His kingdom here and there, right?
I love to be in control and giving your life to Christ is the ultimate submission. I was surprised to discover that when I gave myself to Him a huge weight was actually lifted off of me. I’m learning how to ask God where He wants me to be and what He wants me to do with my life and my family.
He makes things so clear when you ask Him. Ironically, I am now living a full life and I am more at peace than I ever was before I gave my life to Christ. I still struggle but I can do everything through Him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13).

Prayer: Lord, thank You for caring enough about me to want me to live the right way, the best way, Your way. Thank You for Your guidance and patience. You are awesome.
