So Day 5 and I sit in Tacoma Washington. Can't say I did bible devotions when I got up this morning at 4am. Do true Christ followers rise at 4 every morning?? I used to read biographies of heroes of the faith who rose at 5am and prayed for 2 hours before they did anything. That's never really worked for me - and then it clicked that they rose at 5 because they called it a day at 8pm each night as they had no heating or electricity!
So at 4 this morning I drove myself to airport and in my fog I forgot to pray!
But then energy kicked in and on the plane I listened to some worship music and really concentrated on using the Christ exhalting lyrics to truly worship at 36000ft.
Wanted to nap but chose instead to read a book on spiritual formation - helpful and with my worship singing some intentional acts of following Christ.
Had some good "church & theology" talk with church staff here in Tacoma.
Walked a mall for 2 hours to get exercise inbetween meetings that finish at 9pm tonight - and in my walk enjoyed the sample from See's Candy - again deliberate Christ following - did not splurge on more candy and damage my body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (as St Paul put it).
So more meetings- including a Pentecostal prayer meeting then bed and fly early tomorrow.
Yep Day 5 I felt like I truly chose deliberate ways to deliberately follow Christ in the midst of a long church consulting day.
Here's to Day 6 coming.
