Thoughts...

I originally posted this in March one year.

OK...so I hate subject lines on e-mails. I don't really hate for other people to write in them, but I hate having to figure out how to sum up all I am writing about in one sentence. If I could do that my e-mails would be one sentence...wouldn't they? In the words of a great brother in Christ I am truly a knucklehead. ANYWAY...today I was thinking about how often I desire to be in the Word of God, but instead of opening His word I open a book with someone else's take on the Word. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love Bible studies. Anyone who knows me at all knows that. I am thoroughly amazed at the words that God gives people and the wisdom with which they write. (writers like Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Angela Thomas, Margaret Kennedy...and many many more)With that said - God has been dealing with the fact that I am not as quick to take scripture, ponder it, and wait on Him to speak to me. When He points things out like that I only have one word to describe the feeling I get - YUCK! It isn't that I don't want His instruction...oh I do more than I can say. It just doesn't always feel so good to have our faults pointed out to us. SO...lately I have been digging for my own insight...my own wisdom. I have always loved to do that - just not with the excitement I am finding lately. Funny...I want you to have it too! Thank you for reading...I can't help but wonder who you are!
