2. The past few weeks have been so abnormal with traveling so much and being sick, I haven't exactly been the model Christian when it comes to keeping in touch with God. Have I felt bad about it? Oh yeah. Have I felt bad enough about it to take action? Apparently not. But that's when I'm reminded that I serve such an awesome God. He gives us weekly opportunities to worship Him with fellow believers. Sunday, sitting in the worship service at First Baptist Church of Henderson, Texas, I was slapped across the face with this truth that I've heard 1,000 times: "When you feel that God is distant, it is not Him who has moved." And so, it's time for me to take the plunge. Either get with it or get out. There's not room or time for me to keep trying to live a Christian lifestyle that is little more than just moral & ethical. I can't keep equating church work with loving God. And just because I'm serving Him doesn't mean I know Him. So here I go again, trying to talk to and hear from Him more than doing for Him.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' ~Matthew 7:21-23
3. I'm so thankful for protection even when I'm a klutz. I fell carrying some items from Grandmother's house to my car and went down HARD. I busted both knees-bad bruise on the left, big scrape on the right-and hit my hands and elbows fairly hard. Thankfully, nothing major. Just soreness and pain-ALL OVER MY BODY-the next day. :) But no broken bones. YAY!
Blessings,
BGive thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
