Shocking Myself!

Sitting here with a cup of "Tim's" about to do what I said I would likely never do again ..... post a blog entry. You see, I must be honest. Visited the "blog world" almost a year ago, and with only two posts to my name, received surprising and uncomfortable results, and have been hesitant to join again .... and who knows when the next entry may surface. You see, I often find there is not enough time for "face-to-face" friends, and so, I wonder about the energy and time that is required to maintain "type-to-type" friends ... or even acquaintenances. But, something drew me in this morning .... and so, here I sit. A little unsure of the format I intend to take - Should this be like a journal??, ... na... I already have three running daily journals that still use pen and paper. So what point am I trying to make.......??

I got thinking that we often meet God the same way. Unprepared! We come into His presence completely unprepared to meet our King of Kings!!! Sometimes late nights find us unwilling and unable to find sanctuary with Him early in the morning, ... and sometimes crazed schedules and inevitable interruptions keep us from finding our way back to "His room" .... the place where He waits ... alone... for us to meet with Him. Funny thing is, He longs for that same "face-to-face" encounter. Yet we come, putting in time perhaps, but with no real purpose. Sort of like how I "fell" into this encounter. The good news is, though this entry may not ever even be read by another soul, when I "fall" into God's presence, even at times when I come unprepared, He is still willing to make something beautiful out of our time together..... if I seek Him. But what of those times, those honest times, when I have missed His words to my heart because I have simply been preoccupied by all that is called "life" - Trying to live it without His refreshing - it happens.

Don't let today be a day when His words remain in His word and not in your heart - changing, challenging, restoring, drawing. God knows you today - and maybe even divine discontent will draw you - But, choose to seek His face. And, if you're a "blogger" - then, continue to meet the needs of those who share your journey. And, maybe we'll meet "face-to-face" one day!!!

Choosing to Soar!
