The Symphony

// June 1st, 2010 // No Comments » // My God, My Life, My Thoughts

It is amazing to me how God’s will is constantly moving us. Moving us in or out of places or positions of service. Using our own actions and the course of our lives to bring a magnificent symphony of his design and purpose into existence. We have only to be at peace that his will is done and we are gracefully included in it!

When to Say

// May 2nd, 2010 // 1 Comment » // My Thoughts

Do you ever struggle with saying things that need to be said? I know I do… It is the absolute hardest thing to do… to say what needs to be said…at the right time… and with the right heart… There is always the chance that you will be misunderstood or your motives will be questioned… no matter how or why you say it…

like…

  • Yes… what you are doing is stupid… sorry… but its true.
  • Yes… you are wrong and they are right… quit being so selfish.
  • I fail to understand how you think that manipulating your spouse into doing what you want will make your marriage better… you are truly an idiot.
  • No it is not OK to do whatever you want just because you are “Free in Christ”  Freedom is the ability to choose to do the right thing for the right reasons… your selfishness is what you are a slave to… that what takes away your freedom.
  • God’s will is not a needle in a haystack… if you would do something instead of standing around waiting for him to “smack you with an answer” you would actually experience his will interacting with your life on a moment by moment basis… just a hunch but you are probably missing out on a lot by waiting around until the last minute to see if God will make the choice for you.

I guess my point is actually that if you never say the things you should say… then the things that need to be said may never be spoken… so what if you suffer for it?  speak the truth in love… even if it is painful… let the people you love decide what they want to do with it.

Un-Awesome…

// April 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // My Confessions

There have been a lot of times in my life that I have been overlooked…completely ignored… when it seemed to me I was perfect for the position or opportunity… and every time I have asked myself… am I really just a lot more “un-awesome” than I think I am? or is God preparing me for something else that is much bet…ter? I always go with the latter.. because I am obviously not “un-awesome” :)

God Doesn’t Make Junk

// February 27th, 2010 // 4 Comments » // My Life

I discovered this video on a nice blog I have been following called “My Experience as Nick the Geek” This is one of those videos I wish I would have watched when I was younger… it might have saved me a lot of trouble! :)

From The Archives… Failure!

// January 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // My Life

Failure…

this ties in with my previous post on Gods will, people seeking Gods will experience failure and look back wondering “maybe I heard God wrong”

The problem is that they are focusing on the wrong thing. Failure is a bad word for it… but its what we use… so.. so be it
when we ask a baby to learn to walk we expect for that baby to fail over and over… but we insist on picking them up and pushing them to move forward… we coax and cajole and rejoice with each small “almost success” Don’t  you think that God looks at us that way?
I am coining a new word… for this blog entry… spiriphorically, it means looking at a spiritual concept metaphorically.. not quite a parable but kinda!.
so lets look at this “baby walking” concept spiriphorically.    Read More—>

Imonk Nails it in – God Isn’t Gamey: My New Hot Button | internetmonk.com

// October 20th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // My Favorites

Browsing the internetmonk.com archives can reveal some great tidbits.  I have actually written about this very topic on my post Gods Will in some very broad strokes… and apparently this strikes the imonk very similarly based on his post

God Isn’t Gamey: My New Hot Button | internetmonk.com.

I think he covers the subject perfectly.   Just hold on to your pew label!
