My Life, My World

Its been a couple of weeks since my last post.  I’ve been recovering from my surgery, and unforunately still have a ways to go.  I did an 8 mile bike ride yesterday.  Should have been a piece of cake as I’m used to riding 10-12 regularly and 18-20 semi-frequently.  Seems I’ve got a little further to go yet before I’m back to 100%.

My wife and I made our public declaration of our faith in Jesus Christ this past Sunday.  Our Baptism will occur on September 28th, which is also a very special time for our church.  We’re very excited about this step and the steps that will follow.

Over these past two weeks, I’ve had several ideas for a post yet, but none of them have grown to complete thoughts.

I’ve been reading my Craig Smith books.  Most recently was, “The Voice.”  It basically outlined how to heard God’s voice.  I’m putting the lessons learned in that book to work in my daily life.  Any plans, short-term or long-term, that I make now are always prefaced with, “if its God’s will…..”  I’ve also started listening during times of prayer.  Seems odd when you think about it, but as Craig put it in his book, if you’re a college student and you call home to your dad and ask, “Dad, should I take French or Spanish, ok, thanks, goodbye.”  You don’t get the answer you’re looking for.  You also never hear if perhaps you’re being told that you should take German.

I think perhaps I’ve finally discovered what I’m supposed to be doing with my life.  Atleast this new direction feels right.  We’ll see how it manifests itself over the next year or so, but I’m praying that I’ve found my direction.

Craig’s book also mentions that God opens and closes doors for us.  Seems that recently we’ve seen some doors close and some new ones open.  I pray daily that we’re following God’s will and that these opportunities are being arranged by Him to guide us to where He wants us to be.
