Away from the game for far too long
I’ve been quite delinquent in my blog posts, but I need to get this back going as a way to remember and refine. Keep an eye out for more frequent posts.
I’m really enjoying being a Dad. Julie is an amazing mom, who is incredibly patient with Malachi and I both and her willingness to serve models Christ to me daily.
Still praying through where God wants us to call our church home. Finding it a little difficult to trust myself, for I fear it is my pride speaking louder than I’m listening to God’s soft whisper. I need to read A Hunger for God – Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer by John Piper per Chris Rhodenhizer’s post. Being more of an Active versus a Contemplative means I need some of the vital disciplines that come naturally to a Contemplative, like prayer and fasting. It’s likely that my inability to have clear direction about in which body of believers God wants to plant us is a result of my inability and unwillingness to sufficiently mortify my flesh and dedicate myself wholly to Christ. Yet I feel consistently comforted and blessed to have a Savior who turned my heart to Him, offering a free gift “too marvelous for words” and who dwells with me daily.
