truth=thinking=emotions. not the other way around.

So, Lately..

I havent posted anything to Tumblr, Ive been lazy when it comes to blogs, and I honestly just forgot I even had a tumblr. But thats not the point.

Sooo..Back to my point.

Lately. I have been in a rut. In my mind, in my heart, in my actions. Definitely underestimating God’s work in me and through me. Not trusting and confident enough to remember that God is always working and completely, gracefully orchestrating his plan throughout our lives. Its been a long time coming for myself to realize this, I guess I had lost a little bit of my own self awareness and had let my emotions get the best of me. In hindsight, I feel a little silly because I know to trust God. I know that my confidence should be entirely in Him. These are obvious, basic fundamentals of my relationship with Christ. So where has my head been lately? I guess in my heart. The heart is nothing to mess with, and mine for some reason is this volatile, unpredictable, turbulent part of me that without proper supervision begins to run itself, declare its independence, and conquer all the other parts of me that aren’t as strong willed as it is. So in saying that, I think my heart has been trying to do an entire Berto takeover! Obviously, my heart should be a massive priority, because in the end everything else is logic, but from the heart comes love. and love can’t be understood logically. I think the heart is an incredible tool! but it needs guidance. You can’t just let your heart govern you. When you do, that’s when truth can become blurry. Just like two young high schoolers “in love.” The world could be coming to an end, but they’re busy staring into each others eyes not caring about anything else.

So I feel as if my world had been slowly becoming a bit blurry. My heart was trying to run the show. Emotions were trying to be the basis of my decision making. I was trying so hard to not be soooo logical with things that I forgot it should actually be a mix of the both. It reminds me of something my friend Shane said in one of his messages. Truth=Thinking=Emotions.. NOT Emotions=Thinking=Truth. Emotions are fluid, Truth is foundation. 

So.. why am I saying all of this??

Well I’m not too sure.. I came to this “dude you need to get a hold of yourself” revelation just in the past 2 days and part of the realization was that it was keeping me from working at my full potential. It was putting up emotional blinders around my eyes so to speak. I’m glad God gives me grace, because all the long I was putting myself and my heart as top priority, God still used me. Goes to show that God still has a plan and wont let me, you, or anyone else stand in His way.

So be watchful of where your heart is at all times. its a sneaky little sucker. I hope this was beneficial for someone to read. I know it was helped me, even in typing it down. 

So I’ll leave you with something a really great friend of mine once told me..

“Don’t ever underestimate your strength, your power, and what you can accomplish in Christ, because I assure you… it has no limits.”
