Random Thoughts
Convention season is almost over and I hope to be able to write more than I have been lately. Seems my brain is running in so many directions that it’s hard to focus on getting my thoughts in order.
One thing I have been thinking of lately is how grateful I am for music. There is nothing that lifts my spirits when I’m down like an uplifting Gospel song. There are few things that keep me inspired as much as one of my favorite CDs. Being in ministry makes me appreciate even more the sacrifice that singers make as they strive to point us to the God they are serving. But it shouldn’t just be singers and pastors who do this. Every person who is called by Christ’s name has a responsibility to lift others up, to encourage them, to point them to Him. As the old song says, “It’s a battlefield, Brother. Not a recreation room.” Don’t take that for granted. Make sure everything you do is bringing glory to the One who called you.
In closing, please keep us in your prayers. God is continuing to open doors for us at Family Renewal, and I am very grateful. I am in between editing jobs right now and, since our conference season is coming to a close, I could use more work so I’m trusting God to bring me the next editing job He has for me. He is so faithful. If you know someone who is writing a book, send them to my website. I would be happy to give them a quote.
On a side note, I have also become a distributor for Lilla Rose. If you are looking for nice hair clips or head bands that actually hold, check them out.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I’m sorry I have not posted much lately but I hope to get back in the swing of things soon. Until then, have a blessed weekend and keep serving Jesus with your whole heart.
Fruit of the Spirit 7: Faithfulness
I have been looking forward to writing about this fruit, as this is the one I pray for the most. There are so many things that are constantly vying for a person’s attention, yet my heart’s cry is, “God, help me to be faithful.” I pray to follow Him with my whole heart and not to be distracted with the things the world throws at me. He has a purpose for my life, a reason for my existence.
God is so faithful. Everything He says, He will do. He never lets me down. That is faithfulness.
Faithfulness is being a person others can depend on. A faithful person is a trustworthy one. This is a person who keeps his or her word.
God’s Word is full of instructions as to how we should live. As we grow in Him, we begin to be more faithful to live the life He requires. As we become faithful to Him, we become more faithful in life in general. That should be our goal.
