SO MUCH TO DO

I go to bed with this thought and wake up in the night dwelling on my “To Do List.”
Struggling with the – trust in Him and ego is still a battle. Why not release the planning to someone who knows all? So many times the need to be right clouds our vision and hinders our progress. Kind of like a couple of Zaxs meeting nose to nose (check out Dr Seuss). Neither budge and the world moved on around them. We turn conflict into time consuming battles of words and wills. I have mentioned before my thoughts on hatred in the world, love, focus and a host of biblical solutions. My new pastor is reminding us if it is not backed by scripture you might be missing something. Staying in the Word is paramount to moving forward. In Romans apostle Paul counsels us to “live in harmony with one another”. We are instructed to not judge people, instead get to know them and see them as God sees them. A good prayer for all “Dear God , when criticism strikes or a dispute hurts, guard my tongue in humble honor of you.” Thank you Our Daily Bread.
Yes I am starting on a new ministry adventure. My time at MW is winding down. As Twain said, “You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus”. God reminds me I am still as strong today as when he called me to ministry. Ready for battle now as I was then (Joshua). Lord, may we continue to fulfill our life mission with passion and Joy. Keep my eye simply on Him. With refocused faith what could you see in Him for your life.
I have been blessed lately of reminders of past work. This has encouraged me to not grow weary in well doing. Opening myself up to becoming more aware of the Holy Spirit prompting == get off my butt and === or rest a little longer. I am not a spring chicken but realize there is more to be done in this dark world. Retirement is not for me.
