Color Me Maturing.

It is a strange thing to see yourself grow up. Usually it is something that happens and months or even years later you see how you have changed, but lately I have been almost watching myself grow up in many ways. Situations and circumstances that would have stressed me out before no longer do and I no longer need or even desire to control things. Life changes very quickly and I have to keep my focus on Jesus lest I swerve and miss a turn. I think this year, more than anything else I have the goodness of God in everything. He doesn't need my life to be simple or easy or pain free to be a good God. He is always good. Life is good.

Color Me In Progress.

I am slowly learning the art of investing in others. I have made so many friendships and work relationships here and I have very overwhelmed trying to sort them all out, but I am improving. I have co-workers, youth, and friends who all need the Gospel. What a privaledge to be given such an honor as sharing it by living life together.

Color Me Following.

How come there are so many churches and so many "followers of Jesus", yet still so many people trying to lead their own lives. What part of follower confuses us or do we just like the way it sounds?

Color Me Forgetful.

Why is it so easy to forget our great need for our great God? It is all too easy to slide into life and try to leave the creator of it out of it. I have been feeling so restless lately and today I realized I am not restless because of boredom, but because my soul has no peace apart from that which comes from God. Time with Him was so sweet today. Just me and God at Waffle House. He showed me so much today and my heart was strengthened. Oh daddy, don't let me forget my need to spend time with You.
