My Humility...

That there is the source of my humility for the coming years...

1. This page got posted last Tuesday.

2. We had a conversation at bible study on wednesday about expectation.

I've come to a bunch of conclusions about that there page

1. Reality is, there's a lot of expectation of that role.

2. I'll never live up to it.

3. I'll keep trying

4. Only God can do the work that's set out before me.

5. The grace of God says it's okay that I'm going to fail, but the expectation NEVER gets taken away.

...Same with you, if you believe, that is.

6. I'm okay with that, but

7. It scares the CRAP out of me... ( see here and here for more reasons it scares the CRAP out of me)

Maybe that's a good thing.

No, that's a good thing. 'Cause it'll keep me humble.

Yup, simple as that.

Much love in the Holy Ghost,

His Weight

His weight was heaver than his 1 pound.

Be BEING overflowing...

Oswald Chambers

Here's the quote that got me...

God is saying to His people, “You are not in love with Me now, but I remember a time when you were.” He says, “I remember . . . the love of your betrothal . . .” (Jeremiah 2:2). Am I as filled to overflowing with love for Jesus Christ as I was in the beginning, when I went out of my way to prove my devotion to Him? Does He ever find me pondering the time when I cared only for Him? Is that where I am now, or have I chosen man’s wisdom over true love for Him? Am I so in love with Him that I take no thought for where He might lead me? Or am I watching to see how much respect I get as I measure how much service I should give Him?

Are you in love with him or not?

Was sitting with Jess eating breakfast and (as is our habit) we did this reading. And what overcame me in that moment is that I'm NOT overflowing....

Then I was cut by it, convicted. If I'm going to help lead people I need to quiet myself down, quiet my mind down and start to listen to what He's saying. Be more humble. Less proud of my accomplishments.

Really, respect Him more.

Thanks Oswald, again.

Today

Today I told Jess that I was pretty convinced, all Judah knew was love. And for my part, I'd rather suffer his post-natal death knowing that all he knew was love, than him die in utero and not know the extent of our love for him.
