So I am sure many of you have thought that I was going to shut down my blog since I have not updated lately. Well it isn't true. I really wish I had a good reason, but I honestly don't. I would say it was school...but let's be real, I fit blogging in before when I was doing school. I would say it was I am busy doing things like dnows, but that has only been three times...and only a weekend long. So I just don't have a good excuse. So now that I am on "spring break" (if you can call it that) and I am officially done with dnows, I have no reason to do one of my favorite things to do.....BLOG!!
Although I haven't been blogging, God has been working in my life. Especially through these dnows I have been working. The themes have all been related in an odd sort of way. The first was Pursuit. We talked about God's pursuit of our lives. Have you ever really thought that much about how God pursues us? It is crazy and awesome!! We studied the book of Jonah which is a perfect picture of God pursuing someone. He pursued Jonah even when Jonah was stubborn and selfish....so yes, even when you are stubborn and selfish, God is pursuing you. There were so many lessons learned from Jonah that weekend. But then, the next dnow I worked God's pursuit came up again. The theme was Devoted. God loves us so much to pursue us regardless of our sin, so shouldn't we be wholeheartedly devoted to Him? Are you? Am I? Is there anything in any of our lives that we are more devoted to than our Father who deserves all of us? The theme from this past weekend was Lose Control. The overall message was lose control of our lives, and let God be in control. I had never really contemplated this. I can say I am devoted to God all day, but when it comes down to it am I? Am I giving Him full reign and control over my life? Am I trying to control any area of my life? So all of these themes and ideas have really been convicting in my life. Am I really pursuing God with my whole heart? Am I devoted to Him? Am I willing to lose all control of my life and let God fully take control? Crazy! But writing this and even saying I am convicted of these things don't do anything for my life. Convictions are nothing if I don't do anything with that conviction. Are any of these questions in this blog convicting to you? If so, what are you going to do about it?
This was the first blog after a long break. I didn't know where it was going but there it is. I hope you enjoy and hopefully I will be writing more soon.
