To do list

Hey!

So, I LOVE post-it-notes, if I had figured out how to upload photos onto here, I would have, to show just how many post it notes I have! Whenever I start worrying, or even just when my head starts getting clogged with the massive list of 'to-do's' I write them down.

Recently, God spoke to me, and literally said: 'I'm not a to do list.' Which I replied with, 'Yeah I know, sure, obviously.' But then God was persistent in saying 'I'm not a to do list,' and I continued to reply denying I thought any different. But then God pointed out, that sometimes I actually treat him like a to do list! If God's not a to-do list, then church isn't a to-do list, knowing him isn't a to-do list and being a Christian isn't a to-do list. (I think I've found that its very easy to slip into this mindset, (even at church!) that you've just got to do this, this and this, when actually we forget the whole point of our service to others is about love.)  Being a Christian is a to-be list, and there's only two things on this list:

1) Be like Jesus
2) Be us in Jesus

And the only way to be like Jesus, is to be with him.

Blessings, take comfort in knowing your Almighty God is with you always!
