Notes from a sunday Monday, August 22, 2005 I am still recovering from yesterday. The sermon was great and there is so much that tied in to my meeting prior to sermon. I read the bible a few times, and even did some serious prayer twice. And I need more of this. In prayers I have been getting more open and facing things. I am facing several sins that I know about or even don't know of. So far there are two that know of my darkest sin. And it looks like there is a prayer answered as soon I may get to embark on a challenging journey to look deeper than the surface sins and look deeper into my heart. I still cannot believe that I am so self conceited that I put myself higher than the “punk kids at fas-food joints” this is not the right attitude for a christian. Who we are called to be loving and caring and spread the word yet I stay away from these folks as I deem them below me etc. This could have been a chance to show someone Christ. I guess a part of this is the fact I am still very weak, then I may always be weak on this side of the clouds. Yet I know that i can still be drug down, I do not feel secure enough in my faith that I am strong enough to advertise correctly. In fact that might not even be the best words for it either. In the sermon notes there was a question for reflection: Am I simply acknowledging that I need to change and I want to change or am I wholly trusting in Christ? It's all getting very convicting...am I trusting enough in and of Christ? More to work through I guess. So much more to work through. posted by Tom at 10:54 AM 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home

Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. I dare not choose my lot; I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So I shall walk aright. Take Thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill. Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me My poverty or wealth. The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength My Wisdom, and my All. ~Horatius Bonar
