OK, so maybe I'm getting it

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”- 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. This would be one except that it was 84 degrees in my house this morning when I left it...so I'll be writing a large check for a brand spankin' new AC. That's OK.

But all week long I've been questioning myself...why do I live this way? why do I do the things I do? why can't I get this right?

They're difficult questions.
I still don't know the answer.
I think I'm seeing glimmers, though.

El-Roi is a God Who Sees. I've spent a lot of time in prayer this week, asking God to open my heart, to make me receptive to His will. I think He's doing it. I see things about my life and about myself that need to change. Only God can do that work. I've also opened myself up more to other Christians around me in my confusion and bewilderment...and they do not disappoint.

I hope that someone can say the same of me.
