A Question for you.

A friend, actually it was the guy who got me started with this blog, just showed me that over 4,000 people have visited this blog. That absolutely blows my mind.  I am amazed that so many people have passed this way and I am amazed at how quite they have been. So I would like to invite those who are flying bye to stop for a second and share a bit.

Here is the current question I am pondering: Why do people go to church? Or if they don’t go, why don’t they go? Maybe the question is really what are people looking for and why or why don’t they think they can find it at church?

It doesn’t have to be much or any where close to profound, but I would love to hear what you think.

A letter to myself for later

I feel like I am in a good place spiritually right now. So I thought I would write a letter to myself from this place to read when I am no longer in this place.

 

There is now too much to do! The schedule is heavy. The need is beyond the possibility of meeting. There is much that cries to be done immediately and I’m striving to do as much as I can. YET there is no urgency within me. There is no since of it all depends on me. Rather there is a Peace and assurance that God is working and will complete what He set out to do. My heart is mostly in love with God and my desire is generally to abide with Him. Oh my schedule has as much on it as ever but my heart never lives His presence.

 How did this happen? Perhaps many things contributed – time with people who are passionately in love with God – time in the woods alone with God – but mostly I suspect it was reaching the point where I experimentally discovered I could not handle it. When I got to the end of the rope I discovered God had it all under control all along and that has helped me RELAX and TRUST God. I still do what I am called to do but it is as if the responsibility for the outcome has been lifted and that has made all the difference in the world.
