dear blogspot,
will you be my accountability partner?
love,
shannon
yes?
great.
in a staff meeting we were sharing what we have been learning lately and one person shared that one thing from sunday's sermon has been sticking with him all week. why do i feel so convicted about everything lately? well. this time it was because i had so easily forgotten this thing that he quoted, even though it really did resonate with me sunday, it had easily fleeted as soon as i passed through the sanctuary doors. tragic. so my question is how do i make things stick around longer in between my ears when it has the tendency to enter and exit so quickly. i think that i… generalized to people in general, need to meditate a little more on what we hear, in particular sunday sermons. but expanded to what we read too. writing out the bible has helped me so much with this. to slow down. reading the psalms too. i have been rereading some of the same ones constantly. whenever i get a free minute. my soul needs it right now. but to my surprise (which is shameful), i am able to glean something new from the same verses every time. it doesn’t loose its refreshing abilities. god is so freaking beautifully talented. so, as a challenge to myself i shall talk more about sunday sermons during the week, look back on the notes i write, wrestle with it, take the things said and a.p.p.l.y. them, to create and take applicable steps in new and creative ways… to somehow make it stay in between a little longer so that my heart and therefore my actions can have a little extra time to grab hold.
i appreciate it blogspot.
