Waiting

I'm still waiting to get a picture of my new Mini Cooper and in the mean time haven't posted anything new. Sorry to be dragging this out but it will happen some day.

Anyway, I'm beginning to be more engaging to the Lord. I started to journal again today and I looked up praise and worship verses, mainly in Psalms. That gets me pointed to Him always. Plus instead of changing the radio station in my car over and over trying to find "the" song to listen to I am praying to Him, talking to Him while driving. Getting back to the basics is a what I need. I think my funk is being at a crossroads. Since I'm not serving at Recovery at the Village on Saturdays I feel out of the loop, out of touch but I know my next mission is my family. To take what I've learned from RAV and apply it here, to live it; which actually means to live out what I've learned here instead of always serving outside of my home. There's nothing wrong with serving others but if it's at the expense of your family then there is something missing. The other thing is I think it's time to find a home group in our church. I definitely need accountability and prayer from other Believers. Anyway, not to "do" church but to walk in Christ...day after day after precious day.....until He returns.

Matthew 25:1-13 25:1 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps [1] and went to meet the bridegroom. [2] 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour."
