I feel the need to blog...

This entry is totally random. I've decided that I need to blog more...just to get out what is on the inside. It's been a good day...and it's only 7:58 AM. I made a choice last night after Life Group (small group Bible study) that I was going to deny myself this week...(part of our lesson) and praise God...He was whispering that verse in my head as soon as my alarm went off this morning. I got up, went and worked out, came home, the girls are still sleeping, house is quiet....aaahhhh! Love it!
The last question at Life Group last night...was "how will you seek to imitate Christ this week?" My answer was to be completely focused on the mission He has called me to do and to push everything else aside that tries to get in the way of keeping me on track with the mission I have been called to....
So, what is my mission?
THAT ALL WOULD KNOW HIM!
How will I seek to accomplish that mission this week?
1. Be ready and prepared spiritually every day.
2. Look for opportunities to speak His name.
3. Deny myself and imitate Christ.
One thing that intrigues me about the life of Christ is that He was always about His Father's business. Everything else was small in light of Him accomplishing the task before Him, even rebuking His own disciples when they were keeping Him from doing what He had been called to do. So, what needs to be removed from my life in order that I might stay focused in pursuing what I have been asked to do??? That is what I will meditate on today.
