Spiritual Agitation

I think God lets us get spiritually agitated every once in a while. I think it serves to help us not get comfortable with our relationship with Him. The problem is....is that it can cause someone to turn away from God as well. When you feel spirituall agitated, you realize that something is bothering you. If you don't have a good focus on God and the leading of the Spirit...you could look to something else to try and fix what is bothering you.....

I don't know...I'm rambling. I went to the Christian bookstore today. I've been in a bad mood recently.... stress and everything. I wanted to kill some time so I walked around and looked for a new book to dive into.

I found some that I would have normally bought. "Jesus as life coach" seemed kind of interesting. I'm usually drawn to those leadership type books. I also picked up the "Wild at Heart" journal. I just got Christianity Today and read the article on John Eldredge. I thought maybe I needed to do some more manly things...like go buy a gun! hehe.... When I picked up the journal, I read something about dealing with your past issues. The problem is, is that I don't feel I have any unresloved past issues with my dad or mom or childhood or whatever. I'm sure if I dug deep enough I could come up with something....like..... Oh yeah, I'm hurt that dad sold his 69 Jag before I was of driving age. I never got to drive it...or at least legally! ;-)

Whatever on the journal.... Maybe I'll do it some other time. I just felt really restless. Email me if you know what I mean! I finally just bought two cd's. The new Matt Redman cd and Darrell Evans - Consuming Fire.

I'm going to listen to my new cd's. Peace!

Home Church

Well, last night for our Wed. night meeting, we included the kids. Always in the past, we have had them in the back while someone watched them. However, I don't recall reading in the Bible where Jesus had a seprate meeting for kids. It was kind of chaotic, and I'm sure some were uncomfortable....But we read Luke 19 and prayed for those who had prayer needs. Next Wed. we will have some food and little distractions for the kids... I know it wil take some time for them to get used to it, but I think it would be really great if they participate.

Summer

Why is it that when Summer comes around...people seem to wig out in regards to spirituality? If you talk to people who have been in ministry for a while, they'll tell you that you never start a new ministry in the Summer.

I realize that people go on vacation and stuff, but shouldn't that only be one or two weekends out of the whole Summer?

Thank God He never takes vacations!
