Nintendo and Jesus!

October 13th, 2008

I have some writers block today everytime I am about to write what I think I want to write and get about half way there and stumble on what to go off of next. So I guess will just write from what has been going on in my life. This past week has been very good. It has been kind of a hard few weeks lately just understanding what and why I go threw certain things. And it is amazing just how God simply sits you down and reveals to you exactly what it is and why you go threw it. That is at least when you are listing to him. I tend to be the one always talking but you probably have no idea what I’m taking about. Right? So lately I realized I had been meeting this block in my life, I wanted to go deeper I wanted to stop feeling like I kept running into the same situtations over and over again and I wanted to know WHY I was dealing with this! It was simple but yet so hard at the same time because it required me to first of all listen to God, and stop talking so much, second I need to be willing to do what he has asked me to do. See many think it is so easy to obey but, come on we are human and of course why would we do something if He asks us to be selfless. That is when Jesus said, Kateland you need to do this, and this, and this and all of a sudden I knew that he was right as usual. When I dealt with the situations as he had told me to a peace that surpassed all understanding came in my heart and I knew that this block no longer held me back. See sometimes it is hard to get over that block. Its like the nintendo game Mario if you don’t defeat the next level you are stuck there till you can find the way to beat it or the bad guy and if you run out of lives then you just eventually die there. I know, kind of morbid but, so very true at the same time. Honestly, I felt like I was up to one of my last lives and I final saw how to get past it and I got myself the mushroom to make me grow and powed myself threw some of the walls and got to that lovely green tube that would take me to the next level. Now if this metaphor did not make you laugh then I am sorry but I think it is great. Once we know how to defeat a level and come up against again you know how to face it and beat it no longer is it a block but a door way to what is next or a green tube if you want to stay with the theme. God is so willing to show us how if we are willing to listen and obey. A true life long lesson that I continually learn daily.

Have a great day! Kateland

    First of all, yes the whole Mario thing did make me laugh(I love analogies like that). At the same time it made me enthralled, becausse not only have I been struggling on the same “levels” for a long time, but I haven’t talked to or heard of anyone who actually did something about it, or shared how they got through them.
    So thank you for posting that, :) and I pray that God takes you deeper.
