Back to blogging

I took a month or so off of blogging. Somewhat intentionally, although I was on a vacation for a good part of it. I don't have 50 things that I am prepared to blog about, but I have some thoughts running through my head this morning.

I am...

• HUMBLED by the fact that God sent His Son to change my life, show his forever-love to me, and rescue me from sin and myself.
  
  
• DEPENDENT on Him. This morning was a morning in which I took a deep breath and thought, "Work in me, on me, and through me today God for your glory."
  
  
• ENCOURAGED by emails, facebook messages, etc of people who are hearing God's Word, and obeying it. It is a simple thing really.
  
  
• BLESSED to serve God, my family, my OBC family. I count it a privilege to pull into the Ogletown parking lot, look through the Ogletown directory, and realize that this is where God has called me.
  
  
• CONFIDENT that God's work in me will take a LOT of time. As David Powlison says, "Sanctification is a direction" and "Repentance is a lifestyle."
  
  
• CONVICTED that often I don't enjoy God like I should.
  
  
• LOVING what God is teaching me through His Word, especially Psalm 119 and 1 Corinthians 5-7.
  

So, that's where I am this morning.
