I’m Back

Wow! Lots has happened since I last posted to this blog. Some good, some great, some not so good. Anyway, no point dwelling on the past no matter what has happened because a new year has begun and with it new opportunities and possibilities.
The apostle Paul once said that he was forgetting what was behind and pushing forward to the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. That seems to me like a pretty good attitude.
What is the high calling, though? Or more importantly, what is your high calling? What is mine? And what is the mark of that high calling?
I believe that we all know in our hearts, at least to a degree, what we are called by God to do. Sometimes that picture is not clear because we have clouded our vision with other things. But when we get alone with God and ask him to reveal to us what he really wants for us, it will come. Not usually like a bolt of lightning or even a lightbulb, but more likely his truth will be revealed in little ways.
Something will continue to show up either in our minds or in our circumstances. We might have a dream or more than one that seems to be telling us something. The important thing is to ask for more information until your vision is clear. Keep asking God to reveal his plan for you and he will do it. It might not happen in a way you expect, but it will happen.
Have faith.

Not one person could, or even would, write a book that their life has become. We all dream of good things we’ll become and do. Yet how many have ever seen those dreams come true? I had one dream; that I would come to know the One who made me. That has come true! But I would never had written the manner of it’s coming.
As for what He wants from each of us. He wants to make us fountains of life for all who seek Him. What does your fountain look like?
Mine’s a bunch of frogs spewing water at gekos. LOL Hmmmm there may be more truth to that than I realize.
by His Grace.

Thanks for the post! I’m a missionary right now for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know that God wanted me to serve a mission, and I’m learning so much about the gospel of Jesus Christ and about how to follow the guidance of the Spirit, but I’m still wondering what I’ll do when I get home. It’s always comforting to hear and know that God will guide me if I ask. I just have to keep learning how to listen!
