To seek or not to seek.....

Well, hello. How are ya? I was kinda gone last week. Ya know....Spring break and all. It was FABULOUS AND WONDERFUL AND PEACEFUL AND RESTFUL AND AWESOME! And, now it's over. Boo hoo. Woe is me.

Shoot.

I'm kinda mad.

And sad.

Now it's time for me to put my grown-up brain back to work and see if I can spit something out of any intelligence whatsoever. (No comment, ok? Thanks.)

I tried all day to think of something to write about. I even prayed. "God, please give me something to share."

Nothing.

Nada.

Zip.

Obviously, it's going to take me a day or two to get back into the routine of things. My brain apparently all but shuts down during breaks of any kind when we go on hiatus around here.

But, then I remembered!!!! A week ago in Nashville. YES!!! I have something to share that was awesome!!! I visited the fabulous Crosspoint church and the beloved Pete Wilson. His better half was at early service and I completely missed her. I'm still sad about it. I know we'd be best buds if we just lived a smidget closer. ;)

Ok, so the scripture that Pete preaches on that Sunday is one of my FAVORITES y'all. Here it is. We all know it. We all love it. Read along with me.....

Matthew 6:33-34 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I want to shout a hearty "AMEN!" at the end of that scripture. Anyone else?? Yeah, we got some trouble in one given day.

Ok...I won't give you my notes, because goodness knows I took a mess of 'em, but here are the high points.

1. We must have time with God. We won't grow at all if we aren't doing this. Jesus set a great example for this in Mark 1:35.

2. We must have community with others. Don't be a person that just skims relationships. Invest in people. Jesus was always with people and he was never distracted by the noise around him.

3. We must serve with passion. Don't be focused on your kingdom. Ephesians 2:10 tells us we are created in Christ Jesus to do good works.

4. _____________ We are to fill in this blank. We are to find the thing that is missing. What is missing in my life that is keeping me from seeking him first? Or.....what do I need to get rid of that is keeping me from seeking him first???

Ok, that's it. Good stuff huh??? Write these down in your Bible or on a sticky note and put beside the scripture in your Bible.

I'm all about seeking him first. But, I've got some serious work to do!!

Press on sweet friends! I love y'all. Happy to be back with you. I'm taking it up a notch. How about you?

Hugs and blessings~
