So I haven't written in a while. The holidays this year were nice. A little hectic, but God patiently revealed Himself to me even when I let the busyness of the season crowd my heart and life. What an amazing God, full of grace, we serve. So it's 2010...where did the time go? I feel like I should have some big revelation or something to start 2010, but I don't. I feel like I should have some big goal or push, but I don't. I've spent some time talking with God about this and at times have felt guilt, which is not from God, about not having bigger goals. God is showing that I have the biggest and most worthwhile goal of all and that is Jesus, yet the really cool thing is that I couldn't even desire or want to have the goal of Jesus without Jesus.
Romans 11 tells us...
"Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise!"
My prayer is to live consistently in Jesus. To consistently and purposely seek Christlikeness.
I pray that I will live in the bigger story God is telling and not focus on the small role my life is.
So to 2010 I say...Always glory...Always praise!
