WOW, it has been over a month since I last blogged. I had not intended to allow this much time to go between blogs...it just sort of happened that way. Since we last met together, I have continued to heal ,but am not completely healed and have not had the privilege of once again riding Haze yet. However, be rest assured, the time is coming ;) . I do still have weakness in my hands, but hope to be able to ride on the Polar Bear Ride on New Year's day...we will see. So, what has been going on you ask? Well, not much, just the same old same old. Ya know, work, rest, work some more. We did travel back to the metropolis of Franklin County Georgia a couple of weeks ago. We were able to spend the weekend with family and it was a good trip. We only got to see a couple of friends while we were there, but, hopefully, we will see many more on the next trip up. We have been working a lot and are currently enjoying a few days off together.
In the past few weeks, Old Socks has been back in the pulpit a couple of times and this coming Sunday will be the third time since he resigned from LRBC. He says he really doesn't miss preaching, but he does somewhat miss teaching. Personally, I do not miss the legalism and uptightness that we experienced at LRBC. My beautician asked the other day how I felt about being away from that facet of service. To which I responded, "I can finally let my hair down for a little bit." She literally had to stop what she was doing because she was chuckling so hard. Was I kidding? NO. Was I being disrespectful to the Lord or to the calling? NO. I was simply stating the truth. For the first time since being called into ministry, I feel a liberty and freedom I have not felt before. I finally understand what it means to strive to please the Lord instead of men. It is my desire and goal to live the rest of my life striving to please, first and foremost the Lord. After that, there is only one man I desire to please....my husband. AND pleasing him does not mean I am required to walk 3 steps behind him or anything of the sort. Pleasing him is easy because I love him and desire to please him AND he loves the Lord, so he only desires me to please Him. Thus, if I please my Lord & am what my husband desires...all is good in my little world ;)
It is my desire to please these two guys in my life...what is your desire(s)? Until next time, ride safely, my friends.
