This is the song that never ends...

"This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends, some people started singing not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because it is the song that never ends..."

Okay now that I have you all singing the song that never ends let me explain. This song randomly popped into my head this afternoon and as I started thinking about it I realized that it kind of describes my life right now in a humorous sort of way. I have found myself continuing to learn the same lessons over and over probably because I continue to make the same decisions/mistakes over and over - each time I really do learn the lesson for a short while but then I quickly forget - I think you get the picture. I think most weeks God looks at me and has to laugh at how dense/stubborn I really am when it comes to living my life. I know on more than one occasion God has given me plenty of warning signs and better options but yet I still insist on living life on my terms. Very thankfully I do get it on the big things in life and I realize that God's plan is so much better than my plan but it is the little daily things that I get caught up in doing it my way. I have recently been really convicted about how I am not being completely obedient because I am still trying to live my life on my terms on a daily basis with the "little daily things" and not God's terms. The verse in Matt 6:23-25 has been something that has been running in my head lately "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, of he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." While money isn't my issue and something I thankfully don't struggle with being in control and lack of trust is. I know that in order to stop living a life that is like the "song that never ends" I must be someone who is willing to change and someone who will submit and be obedient to God even in the little daily things of life and I know that in order to do this I need to first yield to myself and my ways for my life - much easier said that done for me. But it is something I am working on and each day it does get a little easier. So hopefully I will soon live a life that doesn't represent the song that never ends because of the daily decisions and choices I make.

My question to you is, do you have any area of your life big or small that you are singing the song that never ends? And if so are you sick of being on repeat yet?
