WORLD January 24, 2004: Quiet heroism
[ Mon Jan 19, 10:51:42 AM | reign grace | edit ]
conversation on nite before i first met w/ 3 other elders:
A. Don't feel taken care of:
1. consistency in life and spirituality
2. $ day to day and future
3. house, day to day and future
4. abandoned, not included, i wouldn't be surprised if you walked thru the door and said, "I resigned today." you are so all or nothing
B. Every element of our life together, of your spirituality too, is fodder to talk about in a sermon or counseling session
C. I'm avoiding unmarried girls so that won't ask me, "How did you know you loved Rob? wanted to marry him, etc?"

a couple of weeks ago a young woman who is interested in Christ was talking w/ kim and me... it was obvious that her serious boyfriend didn't have an interest... for the 1st time that i'm aware of i thought:
Does it really make a difference?
Look at my marriage. Look at Kim's husband. Is she really so better off b/c she married a Christian?
that's how confused i am right now. have mercy, Lord

some hours and days i feel like i want to quit
this hour, this day; I feel like i need to quit
but to do what?
It just feels incongruous that its 2:30 saturday now, i can't imagine anyone more joyless, his home out of control, out of fellowship w/ his wife and in 4 hours i'm supposed to be at the office to prepare for
9am prayer meeting
10am preach on revival, hah!
4pm lead officer training class on covenant
5:45 pm talk with the youth.
Have mercy on me. So greatful for alien righteousness b/c i don't have enough years to undo all this yuk and make myself presentable

How Kim sees herself, her life
I screwed up my parents life for 18 years. They are good people who haven’t had a lot of relational problems before or after me. Rob is same way. He was fine before he married me. He’s fine with most people.
Rob’s convictions on this… Kim is honest and lives deep. I would be nothing without her.
