I know that it's been a long time since I've had a real blog post. I've been quite busy as of recently. Finally just finished unpacking my stuff in the house and can finally sit at my computer and type something. I just have a few thoughts and I think I would like to share them with you all in the blogging world. As some of you new, Pastor Josh has kicked the 30 Day Worship Challenge where you are challenged to take an hour out of your day for 30 days to just worship God. I'll be honest, that even I when we first discussed it in a meeting thought "Wow, I hope I have time to do that" but in all reality, should it really be that difficult to have time just to praise God? Is it really that hard to find time just to tell God how much you love Him? While you have plenty of time to watch your favorite show, play X-Box, or spend hours on Facebook/MySpace trying to figure out if this person and that person would be cute together? Worship should never just be an activity on Sunday before a sermon, it should be our lives! Anyway, that was just my thought on that.
Another thought, as I unpacked my stuff yesterday, I started to feel homesick. I would pull out stuff I hadn't seen since college and start feeling reminiscent of where I lived prior to Burlington. Now, I love Burlington and I know God has me here, but I can't have those moments where I miss my family and friends. Following the call God has on your life often requires sacrifice. My sacrifice is puny compared to what others have sacrificed but I do consider it a sacrifice, but I must go where God wants me and I know that that is where my reward will be and I see that everyday with my life and with Trailhead and that excites me but I can't help but have those moments of nostalgia. I told myself that I wouldn't but sure enough it only took a few photos to bring back some great memories. Well my God has a great journey for me as well as everyone reading this that wants to embark on that journey. These moments only make me realize that there is still some amazing memories to be made and I can't wait to live them.
Also, if you have been a reader of mine for a while, you'll be happy to know I got my cavities filled. Sorry to leave you on a cliff-hanger.
