Legos Are My Favourite Toy

I'm not sure if I posted on this before or not. I know I thought of it.

I think I'm calmer than when I wanted to so it will be a bit nicer.


I'm tired of people telling me exactly what I should do with my life. I don't mind humble advice but when you try to map out my life for me, I have to say, that's not going to happen. I'm an adult. I do adult things. I pay ALL my bills, I work hard, I can find my own job, I can open a bank account, I can negotiate with credit card companies, I can get a car insurance policy, I can plan a trip, I read the news, I get my car's oil changed, pay for repairs, I can move myself, I form my own opinions, I can clean, I can feed myself and other persons nutritious meals, I educate myself on pertinent matters, I do my own taxes(even though they're complicated this year), I buy my own medicine, and I take care of another person 5 days a week. Obviously, I'm quite capable. I don't use any of my college education, and little of my high school education to do this. I'm happy, healthy, and successful. All without the help of these well meaning people who try to force their ideas. (I have to exclude mom from that. Although she pushed for college, I find the rest of her 18 years of fulltime input rather necessary, plus she's not pushing college now)

I don't live my life according to what people expect and/or say. I've chosen to follow God's prompting and lemme tell ya, he's got a much better plan than anyone, myself included. He moved me 1100 miles away, across 3 mountain ranges and 3 states. He provided a job and a home less than an hour after I got to Colorado. Could you have done that? I don't think so.

I loved Legos from the time I was really young. Every time my uncle made something but I wanted to make something cooler, I didn't resort to the leftovers. I took apart all the legos and used whatever pieces I though best to make something really cool and, of course, VERY functional. For me, it couldn't just be a cool looking thing. It had to DO stuff too! My "Lego" creation, put together by myself and others, wasn't nearly as cool as what God has reconstructed it to be. Seeing my Lego creation get torn apart was no fun, but once I saw that what was being built had way more potential and use, I accepted it willingly. Each time I try to add a piece, He ends up having to take it out. Sometimes He puts something else there, sometimes He waits. Right now, he hasn't put a "Boy" Lego or a "Money" Lego there, but after all the other awesome work He's done, I think I'd best let Him put them there when He sees fit.

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”
1 Corinthians 1:26-31

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8&9

[He] is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. . . Ephesians 3:20
