Church

I know, there's no picture with this post and as much as that irks me I'm doing it anyway.
Its Sunday night and we are settling in to bed after a full day at FBC. Tomorrow is Labor Day and all the kids in our group (except 2) will be in school tomorrow.
It occurs to me that I have heard two very different, but equally challenging messages today. One was a reminder of how much God really loves is and pursues is to enter a relationship with us. The other was a 'teaching sermon' on the lives of two of King David's sons. That message had a simple and profound effect on me: that I be satisfied with no more and no less than what God allows me to be. I believe He has grand plans for everyone who puts their faith in Him. I believe the plans He has for me are bigger and better than I would plan for myself. I want it all. Everything He has for me. I don't want to settle for a small faith that barely gets me home. I want to be the spiritual leader and saint He sees when He looks at me through His eternal eyes. The other side of the same coin says I don't want to run ahead of Him, wanting for things He never intended for me. In His will. Smack dab in the center. That's where I want to spend my days on earth.
