Life is an Occasion…Rise to it!
I heard that in a movie and loved the line so I decided I would use it. So here I have begun blogging again. The interesting thing about the written word is it can be taken so out of context, kinda like the Bible, except my words are not so perfect, LOL! So let me make this clear, I am trying with everything in me to fix my eyes on Jesus, simple as that. I don’t know what that means because when you fix your eyes on Jesus you don’t get a road map, you get to walk by faith day by day! So I am walking by faith with Jesus, and it feels good. It feels good to walk with Jesus. As a pastor everyone assumes you are always walking with Jesus, but sorry to disappoint, that’s just not true. In fact every series we have done in the past few months God was screaming at me this is you, you, I am talking to you. Here I am preaching and the Holy Spirit is trying to tell me I am talking to you! Being transparent can be a little uncomfortable for everyone, but it is so healthy. In a time when we hear so much about church health, we have so many how to books, I think we could make it simple, be easy on ourselves and just be real with each other. If we would get real with our lives, our relationships, our love we would have healthy churches, with healthy leaders, with healthy followers of Jesus. So here I am blogging, not sure who is reading, and I don’t really care. I am blogging for me, a release of my thoughts, talking to God, and if it happens to help some people along the way that would be even better. Just a PS. If it is not already clear, I am not planning on leaving, God would have to move us, and He has said walk by faith day by day with me…Walking and talking with Jesus, I can handle that.
