Same Thing, Same Way?

It saddens me when people over and over and over again, do the same thing, the same way, never changing their methods, when over and over it is falling apart.  If something is broken, not working, or failing, it is time to step back and see what is wrong.  It doesn't matter if you think it cant be done differently...

This is especially true when it come to ministry.  I have seen so many people fall flat, Robby and my self included, because we have tried to do the same thing the same way, when it didnt work right the first time.  That is part of why Robby and I  are thinking about stepping back, to focus on our vocations, so later on we CAN be bi-vocational missionaries.
But just because no one has ever done a ministry a certain way in a church, as long as it is not un-Biblical doesn't mean you cant be the first.  Yeah there are risks, but there are souls at stake too.  What if you not doing it, means God has to find someone else to reach that person, or maybe they dont get reached at all?  That is what has been weight on my heart...  That is all.

Bitter Days...

dark, dark lay my soul in bitter whoa,
for much that was is no more
and much that will be is not yet...
so much is lost and that now gone
so much never to be regained...
such was the pains of those bitter days

Where is Home?

I am home yet not.  Strange how one can live house for almost 18 years, and in a short time though still you dwell there in, it is no longer home.  I love my room, but I know soon this ne're again will be my home.

How I long for the open road... a journey... an adventure.  Even a short bike ride would be a blessing right now.  To feel the wind in my hair, and see the cares of the day slip away from me... to have that freedom... if even for a few moments... blissfulness!
