Stay the course...

Heather and I just finished Colosians in our devotions and the main theme that was coming out to me was, "Remember Christ and Stay the course". I must remember who Christ is and who I am in Christ. Jesus, many times in the gospels says, "you know the scriptures but you are missing the point!"

Many times I know the scriptures but I miss the point, the purpose or heart of the scripture. Be it because I am caught in Christian culture or don't fully believe it in my actions, I don't let it hang out there too far.

The other day I was imagining life after death and thinking back to life here and now. I remember thinking, "those struggles in life were so little a price to pay." Understanding my own unworthiness in light of the gift God had given compared to the suffering or sacrifice experienced in life. Regardless of how much I surrender or "lose" in service to God, at the end of the story I will not regret it a bit.

I must focus and stay the course. I cannot ride the fence in reserve, being able to cut my losses if I am in error. The question for now is simply, "do I believe it enough to let it hang out there a little bit farther today than yesterday"

Opening thought

This blog is a place for us to share our thoughts with others as well as a place for us to visit and remember. Our other blogs describe our comings and goings, events and work but here is a place to know us and see our thoughts. They will not always be profound, deep, or even serious but they will always be true to our hearts. I hope looking at our journey will bless you along yours.
