This is my word of the month. While working through business and church meetings, talking with friends and family, dealing with strangers in business transactions. How do I present myself with integrity? The early holy clubs had questions that would be asked of attendees regarding their way of conduct in the community and with God. Do I present myself with integrity and grace throughout my day? It certainly is a lot of work!
Sincerely,
I read a blog recently that asked “Does God answer questions?” Well, today, I certainly say YES! The daily devotional once again hit its mark. I’m going through some stormy times. I’ve not been thrown in jail, stoned, or martyred… only difficult interpersonal relations with some key people in my life that hold great power over me (aka the bosses) – yes plural and my house sale falling through today. It’s hard to feel justified in lamenting to God when I have food to eat, clothes to wear, a beautiful child to love, and a church family that is beyond amazing. So, knowing that there is purpose behind all that God does comes to a relief to me. I hope that these current days of tribulation will be a learning experience for me to be an even better Christian. Hey, it’s Friday night! I could really go for a beer at the pub, but even better, a superhero movie at the dollar theater with my daughter. Keeping my chin up!
