“Called to Fellowship with Jesus”

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (ESV)

“He will have a daily quiet time consisting of reading the Word and praying.”

Alissa has a daily quiet time consisting of writing and venting. Hey! And that quiet time ain’t quiet. There’s the dog and then the cat and of course the chance that the girls will decide that today they won’t sleep. And what I really want is the opportunity to do what I want to do uninterrupted because the rest of my day belongs to someone else.

And what I really want to be doing is reading a book. All I want is to read a book. Uninterrupted until I get to a point where I can set it aside and not wish that I could continue. Why did I choose a job where its main function is leisure? Unless you’re a child in which case it is considered education.

Do you know, that when you are reading a book in public, the majority of the people assume that you’d much rather be talking to someone? I’m sorry. I prefer a book.

Have you noticed that since I don’t have a person to mentor me… and I don’t have a book to guide me… I’m a bit out of control?

Wouldn’t it be amazing, if for once, I didn’t see my “task” through. If I noticed that what I was doing wasn’t working and I stopped. That I didn’t attempt to finish something.

Pigs are flying. Hell is frozen. I’m done with this. I’m finding something else.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

1 Corinthians 13:1 (ESV)
