Wow........I just went to the bathroom.
I didn't mean to be gone so long.
Ha! That's funny.
I am not sure why I have fallen off the blogging wagon so quickly....but here's to getting back on and trying again.
I hope that this finds everyone good and well and fine.
I am none of those things.
I have been demoted at work. First it was just in responsibilities. Then came the title and the money. And all leading up to Christmas which, as you can probably guess, is not the best timing. Strangely enough I am relieved. I will have less responsibility and I will actually get a day off once a week now. Imagine that!
Now I will have more time to devote to finishing my Master's Degree and then be able to start applying to PhD programs. I am very excited about that! I find that the times when I am the happiest are when I am with a group of friends talking about God, Life and stuff. I want to do that for a living. I want to talk and write about the things that interest me!
A couple of weeks back I lead a group of about 40 college students through the process of Spiritual Journaling. It was a blast!! I had so much fun preparing for it and then when the time came to actually do it.....it felt right. Me there with a bunch of eager, willing participants writing their hearts down on paper....it felt like I was in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.
I am going through, with a group of friends, a book that another friend has written called Understanding God's Will: How To Hack The Equation Without Formulas (it can be found at http://www.relevantbooks.com/).
The thing that has impressed me so much about what I have read so far is the common sense approach that Kyle seems to infuse in an otherwise confusing and hyper-theological issue. God's will for your life is not about being in the right places at the right times doing the right things.
Why?
Because that means that there is a wrong place, wrong time, wrong thing.
And, whether or not you believe it.....God is everywhere at all the time in everything.
Just a thought. Do you agree?

I completely agree! That was very well said!
Beautiful thought. Good to see the blog up again! Cheers
I agree with you when you say God is everywhere, He is omnipresent. I also believe that you, and the book you referred to, have missed one key element. That element is the fact that humans are sinful and constantly corrupt all that God has given us and done for us. Because of this fact, God moulds and shapes our lives so that we may be better servants for Him. We would already be these servants if we did not sin; therefore God’s will would be everything, if we were sinless. I am a firm believer of free will, but I think that God directs us so that we may better serve Him and share the saving grace of His Son, Jesus.
