"So...whaddya doin?"
Interesting message Sunday at MHBC, especially after my last blog post about how busy I am and asking myself "what have I done?" since it's all a blur. Was very challenged to think even more intentionally about everything I do, and ask myself "why I am doing that?"What am I all about? What is my "Jerusalem" - my focal point that I'm headed towards always, even in the midst of doing what I'm doing here? What "one thing" am I willing myself to do?
I think my answer has been being worked out, even in the midst of my busyness.
~~~MISSIONS~~~
My time at The Crowded House in England taught me how to live all of life as Gospel Ministry. That ministry and missions is not just this compartment of life that you put your time in, and then you're done with it. It permeates everything, and everything spills over into ministry. So, I've been attempting to craft my life around that philosophy. I don't want to give my "leftovers" to ministry and missions; that's my focal point; that's what I'm all about. So everything I do involves the idea that all of life is Gospel Ministry and I do all things for the sake of the Gospel.
Now, granted, I am human and sinful and have warring desires that distract and worry and rush and give me guilt trips...so I still need to learn how Jesus lived with such a passion and focus on God, His Father, and I need to imitate that more and more.
I was encouraged, because I had found my "Jerusalem" in missions, and I was challenged to balance my activity and intentional stuff with purposed time alone with God. It's something I soooooo need to do more of, to be in tune with what God has for me, to have a more clear view of Him.
"So...whaddya doin?" I'm striving to become more like Christ while focusing my energies on missions and developing my heart for His incredible world and its people.
So....what are YOU doing?
