More

I know that life has to be about much more than my personal happiness. I know I need to let the truth that God will call to account what I did with my life one day seep deep into my bones, into my soul and mind. I need to take that truth and do something more. I thought tonight "What can I do for someone else tomorrow?" Life needs to be about giving and caring. But I have to actually do something. I need to wake up every day and ask Jesus "What would You have me do today?". I need to ask Him "Where can I meet You in your work today?".

Lent

This Lent season I decided in order to get my mind more focused on God I'd give up reading any other books but the Bible. I really thought it was going to be harder than it's been. Before I set my mind that I was going to do it, I recalled that I've picked up a book to read pretty much every day for as far back as I can remember. So really it was surprising to find I so easily could lay down other books. With that discovery, the more important thing has resulted in this time. I have indeed developed a better devotional time. I have found that my mind does indeed think about God more often. It is good to dwell in thoughts about God and my walk of faith. Oh I have so far to go. So far. But I keep taking steps. I cling to hope and His faithfulness.
