Things I'm trying to figure out
I read a few great books on vacation - some of these have really got me thinking. I read Irresistable Revolution by Shane Claiborne. Then I read Same Kind of Different as Me. Both of these books have got me wondering if I'm really making the kind of difference in the world that I want to make. Then on Saturday night that week in Florida, we went to Discovery Church where the pastor spoke on compassion - more thought provoking stuff. It's a tough one to understand, as I feel like I've been following and doing what God wants me to do, but I think now he's asking for more - more of me - more willingness on my part to give up the comforts I love. I'm not sure where this will take me. I suggested to Doug that maybe we should sell our home we love and move into North Central - the least desirable neighborhood in Regina. I'm not sure how realistic that would be considering how much we're away from home - I think having a home that's lived in there might be important, but who knows? Anyhow, I continue to ponder and ask God to get through my thick head what changes he does want me to make. He's never let me down in this department yet, so I'll keep listening and figuring out where he's pointing me.
