.....with God
1. To Listen
Don't get me wrong, sometimes I long for the time before listening to God, it can be inconvenient when His plans on my life conflict with my own. But mostly I am extremely glad that I started to listen, continued to listen and keep listening.
2. To trust
Yes, it was a decision to trust God to lead me. I'm not good on trusting. I prefer to rely on myself. But God requires my trust in Him and I desperately try to do my part.
3. To like me
It has taken me 35 years and it's a work in progress, but I am really starting to accept and like 'me' just as me. To hear that I'm good enough. To know that God chooses me as I am. It's hard to hear, hard to accept, hard to know; but I'm getting there.
4. To take time
I am happy being busy. I like to be occupied. Just look at how much I blog. But I am learning that I need to make time for me, which means taking time whenever I can. I now value this time. I value it for me, for Mike, for Rachel. I value this time to energise myself and allow me to think and reflect and just be. I appreciate the time I now take for me, and I'm so glad for being taught how.
5. To blog
When I started blogging I thought it would be a record of my calling, selection, training and ministry. Nothing more. Three years on I am amazed at how therapeutic blogging is to me, how many people read my ramblings and how much I value the community I have met through it. I am even starting to think of my blog as part of my ministry, but I don't want to get carried away.
