OK guys, this week's post is gonna be quick & messy. Otherwise it isn't going to get posted. And since I'm not back to working a full schedule yet, it'd simply be shameful if I didn't post anything this week. Having said that, one of the things I've been made aware of this week is my comfortable, dependable relationship with the word 'should'. A friend pointed out that my German sentences often begin with 'I should...' And I realised that my English sentences do too. I have a feeling that 'should' has become part of our 24/7 lifestyle and creeps into all our lives, regardless of where we are in life and what we're doing. Each of us is juggling different things.
Following Christ is supposed to bring us freedom. By that I don't mean the throwing all our responsibilities over board and moving to a desert island kind of freedom (I'm pretty sure I wouldn't raise my support with that option or be any use to my organisation). We are supposed to understand what really is important in life and to trust that through our relationship with God, He will give us wisdom when it comes to all of the things we are personally juggling in life. Sometimes Christians, including myself, do a really bad job of illustrating this freedom to others. I have a feeling I'll be working on this for the rest of my life, so I guess now is a good time to start. As I said, this post is quick, messy and yet hopefully useful for you and for me.
