It has come to my attention that I have not been lining up with the actual title of my blog. I have NOT been steadfast in blogging. Not that it has been an entirely bad thing in itself to stop this; however, one of my terrible habits is that I start something and rarely follow through to finish it. I've decided after some prayer and reflection on what this actually means that I will commit to posting a new blog with no more than two weeks in between posts (foregoing tragedy or unforeseen circumstance of course).
I have come upon this decision in light of some recent challenges and verses I have come across. To let you into my mind a bit, here is a little of what I am thinking: I have seen a good many of my brothers and sisters rise up and take on the glorious challenge to live a life worthy of the calling of Jesus Christ. I am truly excited and encouraged to see their commitment. It hit me, though, that I am a man who lacks commitment and resolve in a few important areas of my life (Don't worry, you'll hear of all my downfalls here soon enough [ooooh! a tasty ploy to get you to read future posts]). To change that, I am trusting that Jesus will change me and I will cling to what He says in Luke 16:10 "One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much." Yeah, I just red lettered that jams!
Anywho, I figure that if I can commit to writing down my thoughts in a public avenue and somehow make my Saviour known even more here, then I will be more compelled to actually GO and make His love known to those I see everyday. So there you have it; my commitment to be better at writing my thoughts down at the very least, and prayerfully God will use this venue to talk to you in His own way in His own time.
In the meantime, I will be clinging to this 1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." I will be especially praying this one: Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
With those things in mind, if you know me, you know how to get in contact with me. If you do not, then feel free to comment and ask any questions or complain or what have you.
