I found this video to be thought provoking.




We miss so much of what we are not looking for. Spiritually, I feel like we miss seeing God often because we are not looking for Him to really move in our lives. Quick to credit good luck or fortune but not looking to see God's blessing in our circumstances. Christianity in America seems to be more about right answers all while losing the enjoyment following a life giving God. I pray that my faith never becomes just about right answers. I want God that compels my heart to enjoy life and living it to the fullest.

I'm Back

I know that I might be writing to myself at this point, due to the fact that I took a semester off to finish up seminary. I love the exercise of writing out what God is doing within my life, so I am going to take it up again. Let the fun begin.

I read Ecclesiastes 4 today, as a part of reading the bible in a year plan, and it said "a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Excellent verse for what a good marriage could be. Life with its changes and uncertainty are hard but it is great when you, along with your spouse, don't face it alone. I know apart from God that Terri and I wouldn't prevail. Not because of Terri, but more because I know me. I would seek selfish comfort and grow passive until our marriage is broken. Thankful we serve a God who offers marriages a 3rd cord in the form of the Holy Spirit. Every day we don't draw near to God is a day we give opportunities for our relationships to be harmed.
