Point to Ponder: It's not about me.
Question to Consider: Inspite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?
ITS NOT ABOUT ME! Even as I've been experiencing God speaking to me more clearly in these passing weeks, PURPOSE is an entirely new thought. I've heard God calling me to strengthen my faith and my relationship with Him; to abandon my worldly way of thinking and transform myself (Romans 12:2). Still, all this was focused on making ME a better person, father, husband, friend, Christian. Sure I need to focus on being the type of man God calls us all to be. But not for me, not for my family, not for others around me. For GOD! For HIS purpose which he created me to fulfill. Make God #1!
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.(Colossians 1:16)
Hi Baby...this got me thinking on the weeks leading up to this day, your day 1. I remember (and have recently reminded you of) sharing with you what I thought God was telling me. He kept telling me that He was going to use YOU...but I had no idea how. So, my thoughts turned into prayers for God to help me be the wife you need to fulfill His purpose. I'm still as excited and looking forward to see how this all plays out.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome to know that this book, that I first read in 2004 (when you were still just a babe hehe) was all a part of His plan for US! That was evident even looking at the covenant page. God knew then our plan...and still every day He is leading us...we just need to trust Him and let Him. I'm so thankful to be on this journey with YOU. I love you my handsome. Andrea
