Do you take notes during the Sunday sermon? I think it helps me to focus (& not use the quiet time to figure out the weeks menu, b/c I try not to waste quiet moments). I really love to write down points that jump out at me. I remember Rev. Hay saying that Daniel was "careful to be God's man in the place where God put him." Wow! what a great thing to hear before you leave for college. Today we had the honor of witnessing the dedication of my niece & nephew at my sister's church. I was purely in the congregation - I was not on staff with the Children's Ministry - so I could TOTALLY listen. Their pastor said that someone said of John Bunyan (author of "Pilgrim's Progress") that if you cut him he would bleed Scripture. Wow, what an honor if someone were to say that about me or one of my kiddos. I think I will put that on a plaque in the boys room or tape it to the all popular band-aid box.
Am I saturated in Scripture? What would I bleed? I feel like lately it would have been "woe is me . . ." little things keep popping up & gettin' me down (car problems, strep throat, mean girls on the playground) I am bogged down by the little things & not looking at the whole of Scripture & His promises. I am working on 2 books right now (I may need to do 1 at a time) "Radical" by David Platt & "Parenting by the Book" by John Rosemond, are what I am trying to use to turn my views around.
This morning they sung a version of a song that was sung at Bay's baptism - this momma cried- it spoke to my soul as it did almost 8 years ago. "Ancient words, ever true, changing me, changing you . . ." God's Word is infallible, inerrant & is HIS word. What a truth that we need to be constantly reminded of thru the daily life. Whatever big decisions He is resting on my heart right now I rested them today as I know HE is in charge & alwasy has been.
Love, me
P.S. I live in the SOUTH so no the baby does not alwasy wear shoes - it is a perk =)
