Where I'm Supposed to Be

Brrrr! It sure is getting colder out there. Can you believe that they got snow in Houston? I texted a friend and asked if Hell had finally frozen over. Okay, Houston is in no way Hell but if you've been there in August you'd sure think it was close!

Since it's chilly out I've been doing a little online Christmas shopping. Life is so much easier when the boxes show up on the doorstep! Has anybody else noticed that the credit card companies are really watching the accounts now? I ordered something today and within a hour got a phone call from my credit card company to verify that I made the purchase. Some might find it annoying but I am glad they are watching so closely for fraud.

Either the sermons at church are getting more inspiring or I'm listening with new ears. I think it is more of the latter. Steve gave a good one today on the Promise of Christmas. In my notes I wrote this down. "Jesus comes to get us because we don't know where we are supposed to be." Think about that for a while. I am certainly going through a time where I'm transitioning from one role to another. This one line really gets me. I sin when I worry or agonize over who I am or what I should be doing. I'll confess to you this past week I stepped out of my worship routine. I wasn't doing my daily reading I let 'life' get in my way. And it caused me to slip off of my firm foundation. So in a way, Jesus came to get me. He spoke to my heart and reminded me that He is always with me. So when you read the quote do you think He will only come to get us for something big? Some important task? As we get older we try to complicate it all. That's why we are to come to Him as little children. So where am I supposed to be? Jesus says I'm to abide with Him. So very simple and yet we make it so hard.
