It's been far too long since I've posted to either of my blogs. I guess those goals I set up for myself were somehow intimidating... haha. It's more like I have been busy doing too many fun things, and I haven't given myself time to sit and write about it. But I desperately want to get a post on my smileMEDs page again, so hence my rule of posting everything here first, I wanted to start flushing out what I might try and say on that post before I come back here hopefully later today and give update with more thoughts about what I've been up to lately.
I'm constantly sifting through the stuff in my room and coming up with more and more stuff to give away. I just gave 20 or so hangers a lighter load - nothing! And I boxed up another stack of books that I decided would be best in the hands of someone else who might want to read those words instead of taking up space and distracting me from more important priorities.
As I've said before, I'm praying God will help me strip away and travel with a lighter load, because with less stuff around me, I can better focus on the task in front of me: to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ - his complete self emptying on the cross in order to cover my sins with his precious blood, so that I may have life - and life to the fullest measure of joy for the glory of our awesome God!
I'm also going to post Acts 20:22ff, because I've been meditating on those words lately... and it's especially important to me because it's Paul's words as he is traveling to Jerusalem and he is saying good-bye to his friends who don't want him to go because they know there will be great trial for him there and they probably will never see him again. As I have already started saying good-bye to friends before leaving for Greece, it hits home. Anyway... I've got to post my smileMED now, hehe. :) I'll hopefully be back on here later today.
