So my brother-in-law said something interesting that got me thinking. He said that problems in life are not the same as math problems, which got me thinking.
Many times we approach life problems the same as math problems. We look at it, think about it, and then ask God what the correct answer is. We get an answer and then go on our merry way.
Unfortunately, too often we misunderstand what God is saying. God very rarely gives us the answer, or the end result, to the question. Think of an algebraic equation that has multiple steps. God will tell us "Do this," giving us the first step, and we think that's the answer. Rather than saying, "This is where you'll end up," He's saying, "This is what you need to do right now."
Life problems really aren't like math problems. We don't know the end, that's God's job. We just have to take it one step at a time and trust in Him, which makes it sound much easier than it actually is. I wish you luck.

Blog Changes
So I suppose you probably noticed the changes in my blog. Well, I kind of got sick of the old layout, so I wanted to change it up. (It's slightly deeper than that, but the full explanation will be forthcoming.) The current layout is a little too bland for my taste, but it's a step in the right direction, at least as far as my vision for the final layout is concerned. I'll probably be making slight changes here and there periodically over the next few weeks until I've got it where I want. Hope you like it! Though to be honest, it doesn't really matter if you don't, because it won't change anything, sorry. :)
