Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. I trust in You, my God! Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord Point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me for You are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in You. Remember O Lord your unfailing love and compassion which you have shown from long ages past. Forgive the rebellious sins of my youth…Archive for parenting
a change…
It’s been about a month and what has been made clear to me is that change is necessary in my life. Involvement in too much is a big one… involvement and concern for too many things that are important but do not have to be me that has to do it. My struggle is that I want to help others… sometimes (ha – I probably kid myself when I say that) more so than myself and my family. Sure I can rationalize and explain many different ways all of this, and all of the things I get myself involved into… but in the end, it’s not about me. It’s all about God and His paths. So maybe I’ve went down some of His paths, but maybe I don’t need to be the person who keeps going down it… maybe that’s for someone else to continue with. But that’s hard because I want it too much to be about me.
families and the Great Commission
The Question: Are we excused from the Great Commission and Great Commandment because we have families?
I’m not the one who proposed it making it a synchroblog question (blame Jim – he thought of it), and I really can’t say that I’ve really kept up with the “synchroblogging” concept except for a few times. Jim pondered this recently to me in a comment adding that he “thinks this is THE trap of American suburban Christianity – the need to have our home lives and precious families secured away from ‘those people’ we need to reach out to and help.” I should add that this comment came out from this post talking about the homeless. So if people still “synchroblog” and want to, please feel free to.
