Well, here we are. The end. I’m actually going to be surprised if anyone is still reading this far into this little series. But, I really did feel like God was asking me to put this out there.
Please know that I have not told any of these stories to put a spotlight on me. Furthermore, I have not told any of these stories to put a spotlight on anyone else either. I simply wanted to illustrate how these things can be real in your life.
I want to restate something from the introduction:
“I don’t want to leave the impression that I’ve got it all together. Nothing could be further from the truth. In December of 2011, I had a stroke. And to be honest, I don’t think I had a reasonable conversation with God after that for at least 9 months. At the time I needed Him most, I was running away. I don’t study the Bible daily. I don’t have a mentor currently. I am not purposefully mentoring someone else. My prayer life is constantly interrupted by my undiagnosed ADD. I miss the daily miracles because I’m so busy. I give money but withhold time. I resist building community with people who aren’t like me. I don’t like singing hymns and it distracts me from true worship. My witness suffers greatly from my occasional foul mouth and bad attitude.”
However, I always desire to be a part of a church that is striving to grow spiritually. I hope you do as well. I trust that you’ll find that place and plug in. Once you do, please don’t suck the life out of it. Be a part of the charge that drives the growth of that local community and brings them closer to Him.
Thank you for following along. May God bless you.
