Recap of what’s going on in my life each day.

Nothing Much for Today…

Yes, things happened today. I’m tired and I want to read before I go to bed. I’ll have to play catchup tomorrow. valete!

A Day of Blessings…

Well today has been such a full day of blessings. The sermon this morning, given by President Egge, was on generosity and not just about giving money, but the generosity that Christ showed to all through time & help. It was really good to hear about being generous in all areas of your life, following Christ’s example.

Our LifeShapes study was excellent as well. Today we went through the hexagon, which focuses on prayer, and using the Lord’s Prayer as the model. While it gace and guideline, it also showed the vast ways that guideline can be worked out in our prayer life. Something that has brought me more in tune to a better prayer life is being open to the Holy Spirit’s leading in prayer. It’s also given me what I needed to approach prayer in a different way then what everyone models as prayer. Tonight on my way back from Fargo I began to think of people in my life, things I had talked about with Chad & Laura, and things coming up this week. As I began to think about these things it prompted to pray about these also. I was a wonderful time alone with God just lifting people up in prayer, confessing things in my life, and thanking Him for everything He has done in my life. This was a wonderful way to spend that quite ride home.

Life is Grand…

Well, I was doing some chatting with a good friend online earlier today. It kind of came to mind that it would appear my life is consumed with eHarmony and my quest to find that special someone. Anyways, of course this is not all that encompasses my life. There is more, here is what I said earlier:

I was just thinking to myself that I haven’t been very diligent in writing in my blog what God has been teaching me, there is really more going on for me spiritually than what is seen in my blog. God has been teaching me a lot through my reading and having daily time with Him. This eHarmony/relationship thing has really been a smaller part of my life, even though from my blog you’d think otherwise. I’ve been so blessed by the changes I’ve made in my schedule/time to have quite time in the mornings and evenings.

Is God Leading Me…Well of Course

Hmm…so as I was just beginning to type this post I’m thinking once again. What is really ok to be sharing and what isn’t. I tend to be almost an open book with my life on here. Is this ok. My ultimate concern is how the people that read it might be effected, especially if it happens that I talk about them in my blog. The truth of the matter is I need to be extra careful about what I say about any, if at all. Talking about people on here is borderline gossip, actually it’s not much different. So now I’m thinking I need to change my writting a bit. What I write needs to be kept about myself for the most part. Obviously making a comment that I went to some place with someone, and I use their name, isn’t a big deal. However any thoughts I have about someone need to be kept to myself, and shared only with that person if I’m going to speak about it at all. So this brings up the whole eHarmony topic. Seems like I’ve already said too much on here concerning that subject. I’m referring to the other involved.

Well, where I was originally going with this entry was the fact that my newest eHarmony match as sent me a really amazing message. I won’t go into the details of it but it’s obvious that God is guiding this whole eHarmony thing, in my life that is. This shouldn’t be a surprise as I’ve been seeking His will in the whole thing. It continues to amaze my how God works, it’s sad what so many people in this world are missing.
