Wherein I have learned both nothing and everything
I've had an interesting couple of days. I didn't really do anything or go anywhere in particular. I wasn't on a vacation or a staycation or a playstation. I was just hanging around, doin my thang.
And God bumped me on the head.
The God, yep.
Now, I understand completely that a few of you stopped reading right there. That's okay though, because one thing I learned in the last couple of days: You don't have to believe in God the way that I do. The relationship that I have with Him is completely my own and personal and doesn't need to be understood, explained, sold, or vindicated.
I know, right? Epiphany.
I just wanted to say epiphany actually. It wasn't so much an epiphany as a revolution of thought. The idea was already there, mingling around with all kinds of other information, it just never stepped center stage before.
One of the other things I realized in the last few days - even if I'm doing it all wrong, the whole righteous servant thing, I might just be doing it right too.
It might be easy for someone else to do the A, B, C thing.
A. Read Scriptures
B. Pray
C. Faith, et al, etc.
But, it's not easy for me so much. I 'forget', delay, avoid, doubt, deny...you get the picture. I am still learning my ABCs.
But that's okay! So long as I'm working on those ABCs and I see them as a good thing, I'm on the right track. Perhaps I'm walking sort of half sideways with my head turned around, but I'm still walking.
For today, that's the best I can do.
And it is enough. For me.
