It has been such a long time since I have written anything. You all will be surpised to see anything from me. I am recomitting to blogging as I see the importance of the internet rise among many younger people. Did you know that people 44 years old and younger are more likely to forfeit their Televisions than loose the internet?
The connections we have with people are meaningful to us. Facebook and other social media avenues are taking off! One friend of mine shared with me that while her real life was not going so well she participated in Facebook games and had about 1000 friends who were also involved in the games of the net. When she started moving out of the slump she was in and started being active in life again she deleted 500 friends and became more focused on God.
What is consuming your life in a way that keeps you from the reality of what God has for you? I often think I am a writer, but I don't write. A chapter of a book on Spiritual Life lately brought home to me again the point that writers write. If you are a writer and you are not writing you are not really a writer. I think this is true in our faith life too.
If you are a disciple, but you are not following Christ or leading others to follow Christ are you really a disciple? Evaluating our own life takes a special way of looking at it. We have to take a step back and see if we have really walked the path we started out to walk. When I stand at this point along the way and look back it seems I have gone towards Christ, but not covered as much ground as I thought I might have by this point in my life.
When you stand and look at the path you have walked is it what you had expected? Is it an experience of walking toward God? I am grateful for the relationships and faith that have sustained me over the last few months of silence. I am glad for the encouragement to run the Bolder Boulder. I am happy for the transition into being 33 years old. I am happy to see that God is at work in my life. I hope that you can look at your life and see a trace of the patterns of the Holy Spirit.
Blessings to you!
Dear God, thank you for the transitions you help me through. Thank you for keeping my path headed in the direction of closer to you. Make me aware of your call to discipleship in all areas of life. Allow my life to make an impact in the places I live, work, and am. Thank you for the opportunities you give me to let my light shine. May your light shine through me more and more each day. Amen.
