Well, it has been over a week now since Brian and I made this "commitment". I would say I am frustrated b/c in my mind I expected something crazy or magical to happen. Overnight we would have extremely important purpose and constantly the Lord would be telling us what to do. Not so. If anything I would say Satan just started throwing arrows at us and I would say I heard nothing specific from the Lord.
So, we are going a different route. Instead of looking and waiting for this mystical specific revelation to come, we are just going to work on the general revelation or obedience. I say all this b/c if I just keep it in my little head I have no accountability and could quit at any time.
I would say that this week we were much better at "loving the Lord your God" which is the most important commandment and that is a relief to finally prioritize time with the Lord. So, this week I will take something vague, by that I mean written for all not just Becky, and work on it.
"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. " Ephesians 4:32
I can only imagine how thankful Brian would be if I could just improve with this small bit as he and Baker would greatly be affected. So, that is all for now.
I provided some pics of the boys in our backyard, Praise the Lord for our backyard and for Ryan Gambill who gave us his awesome lawn mower to mow it. Man, I can't believe that think made it through the ND winter, but it runs so well! Anyways, the boys love it outside and especially in the mud and sand pit that we have. It is so cute to watch.
Can someone tell me how to watch video from clean slate? I want to see what happened but I can't find it on the churches website. I saw a bit on Emily's blog, thank you.
We are loving mud around here, too :)
ReplyDeleteCan't tell you how EXCITED I am about what God is doing in your hearts--wahoo!!! And, yes, rarely does some great revelation or call (move to Oman...?) come right away~it's the "being faithful with what you are given" that has to prove itself (mostly to you, but also to God) and take root and THEN "more will be added" as the Father, in His perfect mercy & omnipotence, knows your hearts are ready for it. There is a little saying that comes to mind: "the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" BY4, you have taken THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP OF YOUR LIFE!!!
Praise God :)
