That was Quick

God has been so gracious to give me some quick direction in my seeking our "normal". At first I thought it might be something like dropping an orphan on our doorstep or getting a call from some ministry asking us to move to Africa. Or maybe our house was going to catch on fire and then we would move to downtown Bham and live among the poor. But, guess what He's told me?

Seek Me.

Slow down. Rest. Find ME more and more beautiful through prayer and My Word.

"My Sheep know My voice and follow me wherever I lead." Jn 10:27

Think of yourself less. and ME more. And others more.

" The Bible says that human beings were made in God's image. That means, among other things, that we were created to worship and live for God's glory, not our own. We were made to serve God and others. That means paradoxically that if we try to put our own happiness ahead of obedience to God, we violate our own nature and become, ultimately, miserable. Jesus restates the principle when he says, "Whoever wants to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Mt 16:25" Tim Keller, The Meaning of Marriage

"I need you Jesus to come to my rescue, where else can I go? There's no other name by which I am saved oh capture me with GRACE! I will follow you!......this world has nothing for me"

(from the song Rescue- by Newsong)

So tonight I am thankful for the Gospel. I'm thankful for Truth. I'm thankful I don't have to figure it all out. I'm thankful for His work in my heart- a heart that desperately needs a Savior.
