I struggle with my blog. Some days more than others. Sometimes I feel like the stuff I have to say is worth reading and other times I think it's a lot of fluff. Lately I've taken to only blogging when I have something worth reading. That's probably not a good strategy to gain readers but it's a good way to stay real to myself. I was with a good friend recently and we were talking about our "place" in the world. Part of the conversation strayed into insecurity issues and liking comments and readership on blogs, twitter, etc. I thought a lot about that and realized that I am actually in a good place with this now. I have gotten more involved in a bunch of things in the last year but those things don't define who I am. They are cool and fun and I'll probably mention them here from time to time but I really don't want to have them become too much of who I am.
Here's something worth reading:
So here's a brief thing I'm working on that I could use some prayer about. I'm preaching in our main worship services at my church on Sunday April 19th. Two services. It's the day we honor our senior class and it's also the first time that they've asked me to preach in that service. It's a little scary as it is not my normal crowd as I don't attend either of those services (I go to a contemporary style service in our gym) but at the same time it's something I'm actually looking forward to. I'm working on using the verse Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" My title is "A little fear is a good thing in faith" I'm trying to remind the students that relying on God is a crucial part to growing up as opposed to self-reliance that is so preached by culture.
I could use some prayer.
