Who is in charge?

Who's the boss was a great show back in the day. I only ever saw reruns but I know it had a lot of fans.

One of the guys in Bible study quit his job and has nothing lined up for afterward. He is taking a sabbatical.

My first thoughts, I hope he has  money saved up...interviews lined up... who will pay bills?  Maybe he has none?  What's he gonna do next?

As much as I am sure he covered all this in his decision making process, I haven't seen a person so at ease especially in new york.  The whole purpose of this city is money. Making it big in NYC brings with it some clout that you can make it in any city.

Yet somehow this guy's actions are the opposite of what NYC mentality defines.  He is at peace,  confident and is completely going with the flow of what God has next for him.

Who's the boss?

In this guy's life? Clearly he is trusting Jesus to lead the way.  Even in this world, where he is the anomaly for even doing just that, he has taken another step in trusting and by that he has honored Jesus!

It made me question who was the boss in my life? Do i trust myself more than i trust Jesus?  Is that wise? Is it radical that someone would trust The Creator and The One who sacrificed His life? 

Why do I find it unnerving while it seems just fine to others?

This applies more today than ever...

Love God  and the rest will follow!

Do you really know?

Who knows you best?  Is it your family? Is it your friends?  My standard answer is that I know myself best.

But recently I have been thinking,  do I really?

I had myself convinced that I wanted to be married to a rockstar at one point.  Kevin, from the Backstreet Boys, preferably.

I thought I wanted 5 kids now its 1 maybe or 2 adopted kids?

I always wanted a saint Bernard,  now? A puggle or an english bulldog?

So? What makes me think I know what I want in my future husband???

I can't even make up my mind if I want to cut my hair short or not.

As for my husband,  I am done making lists that keep changing and priorities that aren't important anymore.

God has a lot of work to do and I am not about to stand in His way.

Love God and the rest will follow...

Ya neva know...

Last night I saw a slew of postings about a young man who went to OK as part of a mission trip to help tornado victims. His car was in a head-on collision and his life was taken from him.

What a way to go...

I don't even know him and there is an air of sadness when I think of his parents and family.  Then I think to myself, God used him and in that moment this man of the Lord had done all he had to do.

He was an example to youngsters, he gave up his time to go on a mission trip further showing the level of sacrifice.

What an example!

May God be glorified through this guy's life and death.

On the other hand, my aunt suffered a stroke a few days ago. Initially they said it was pretty minor now they are saying she is bleeding in the brain.

Am I sad?

Sounds weird when I even think it but I am not sad about her condition physically as much as her spiritual health.  If only she would confess that Jesus was her Christ but she finds it hard to believe she is lived because of the life she has lived.

Its easier said than done is what anyone would say from the outside looking in. And that would be a valid statement in her case. Except if you see how God really has been there through every step.

If only the veil would be removed so she could see that.

Father, may it be so!

A life of sacrifice is great but a life that glorifies and points to the Creator will always trump anything we can do.

Love God and the rest will follow...
