Rendezvous With God

This is an attempt to get back to something I had started years ago. Weekly, while I was a youth pastor, I’d send out a blog of sorts (this was before blogging was really all the popular) via e-mail to my kids and church people colleagues every week. It was nice to hear the different responses, and it challenged me to really delve into my faith. Asked me to look a scriptures, and take some time out of my day to really meet up with God, all with the purpose of getting to know him more, under the guise of offering some teaching to others. Well…I’m not a youth pastor in the paid sense anymore, and I’m about to pick up some youth oriented responsiblities at church, I’ve been thinking about where my faith is, and how I just miss the presense of the Lord in my life. I feel like challenging myself to blog and ask the questions and look at His word will really help me to take up someone of which I’ve lost through busyness and bad routine over the years. While I cannot complain about what God is doing in my life and all He does, it’s not enough for me to just say, “Thanks God” once a day. I don’t want Jesus to be my teddy bear, something I cling to when I need comfort, but a living Lord of my life, whose my Father and Friend. God…let me know you that way once more and guide me to your Truth that shows me who you really are. Challenge me, and reveal to me your heart as I look to share with you my own in not in word, but also in deed. Amen.
