Day 17 and its raining in Reedley. Our family love it - Scottish and all that. you know it rains on average 220 days a year in Scotland (I think this alone disproves evolution - Scottish people should have webbed feet by now!); it rains maybe 20 days a year in Reedley ...so this is a good day.
Praying that it stays dry in Haiti - so many homeless, rain would be disastrous both in spreading disease and bringing even more discomfort.
So today I intentionally worshipped God. I especially found the song we sang called "Humble King" as so helpful to not only declare who this God is, but who this God stands alongside - the poor, the needy, the distraught.
I intentionally was careful with my words and my appearance. I didn't want anything to distract people from seeing how incredible Rabbi Jesus is.
This is such a simple things, but I think significant.
I got up and wanted to wear a certain top - but I know the top might distract peoples attention - but I wanted people to focus on the right thing.
Then, during our service as I thanked a neat guy for what he shared I could have made a joke or two about him - but I didn't want attention to come to me but to Christ - so I paused on any humor and spoke about something deeply spiritual that involved my friend.
I intentionally didn't distract people from Jesus.
Amongst the busy of a church teaching day - it was what I didn't do that for me was clearly my intentional following of Jesus.
