Just Checking In…

hello world,

life been real interesting lately.  but i’m happy to say that i’m settling in.  my emotions aren’t on haywire as much.  i’m being to see what the main point of this whole life thing is.  i mean, i already knew what it was, and that’s knowing jesus better each day.  however, i’ve allowed life to snuff out my fire.

my distance learning mentor (lol), bill johnson, says that only we are responsible for keeping our fire for god burning.  maintaining our passion is solely a personal responsibility.  others can contribute, but i’m ultimate the one that has to answer.

also, i realized that i have to understand who i am in god on a constant basis, and not let the words of others pull me down.  i’m convinced that the searing words of other people are the “flaming darts of the wicked” that paul wrote about in ephesians 6.  i believe that the word put a word inside of me concerning words, their effect, and how to use them.  i’ll have to get around to unpacking it.

i had to take some time to detox myself from all the verbal poison that i ingested.  the source of the words was wrong; however, i need to learn to guard myself more.  if anything, this inspired me to write down more of the core values that i life my life by so i won’t make a fool of myself.
