Boring!
As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't written very much recently on here. For the last few weeks it has been crazy busy and just a little stressful. This week, thank goodness, has been rather boring. I have longed for a boring week with not as much going on for I don't know how long. So naturally, I don't have much to write about, but I do have a few thoughts. Not very profound, but it is where I am at right now.
I was leading worship yesterday at the base and with all that has been happening in the lives of our staff I wanted to lead us in a quiet time of meditation and reflection. While music played in the background words and pictures flashed on the wall in front of us
At the end of our time the verse Romans 12:9-13 came up:
It always amazes me as I lead a devotional, intercession or worship how God usually challenges me more than the people I am leading. As I reflected on this verse, I had to ask myself, "Am I really doing this, not only with the immediate people around me my husband, family and co-workers, but also with my community and city?" and the answer is no.
As our DTS students arrive in January and my life gets crazy busy again, not only is God calling me to really love these students, but to model that to a much broader community.

At the end of our time the verse Romans 12:9-13 came up:
Don't just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically.
Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. When God's children are in need, be the one to help them out. (NLT)
