"Just be held" is the song in my head today... what is yours?
New years resolutions are a seeming American tradition. But I wonder how much of this is just a reason to not be doing what it is that we are really needing. At church I happened to misjudge the class I thought I was checking out. I thought I was going to hear about a missionary excursion. I happened into a discipleship leaders encouragement meeting. I was glad I did. One of the elders challenged us. Maybe the problem is we are over-knowledged about bible truths but under-experienced in Its truths. I have been coming to this conclusion myself. How much am I listening to what God's saying to me and how much am I actually doing? I finally listened to what my best friend has been saying for years now. Warning, Questioning? me about my spending. I justify it by saying it is "home school" stuff for the kids. Excuses. Because honestly, I never put these into service. They get ohhed and ahhed over and stacked with the next greatest thing....
