In Faith in Real Life

What keeps you up at night?

6 Comments

Lately, I have been thinking about stuff…  You know?  I find myself thinking about ministry, life and my family.  Sometimes I wonder if this is normal?  I mean there are times when I just can’t stop thinking about it.  I’ve found myself saying, “Okay, it’s time to go to bed now.  Stop thinking about stuff!”  I suppose that you could call this craziness, or maybe just disturbed.  

I wonder about how can we do things better?  How can we more effectively minister to students.  What would be my dreams and goals… I sit and think about the church in a perfect world.  I dream about the day when we can be a church that stands culturally relevant, and is culturally attractive to those in our community!  I dream about how we can get to that point.  I am pained by phrases, and ideology that causes more harm to the name of Jesus, than it does good.  

Sometimes I wonder… Sometimes I dream…  

What keeps you up at night?  What are your passions?

    Everything. I hate it. I think the worst part part about being a Christ Follower is that you often think too much. Think about what you should do, what God should do, what you want God to do, what you want yourself to do, what you selfishly want out of others, what you wish would happen, etc., etc., etc. I guess it’s something God wants us to do, to think about things, but I don’t think we should premeditated suppositions or events that go on through our head. Then we’d be playing God or giving God rules to follow , instead of placing our faith in Him.

    A lot of things. Mostly whether or not what I am doing is what God wants me to be doing. I try not to worry too much about it because there is no use losing sleep over trying to figure out what God has planned for you.

    yep…lots of things and I often wonder how to give myself a lobotomy before turning in for the night just so I can shut it all off! My passion…loving as Christ loves and extending grace to all others in all situations. Seeing them as He does and loving them no matter what.

    Its been quite a while since I’ve really gotten a good night sleep.

    I think when your whole heart is invested in your teens its impossible to separate yourself and not think about them.
