Disciplined Life
Discipline is my word for 2019. My overall goal for this year is to live a better disciplined life; a better spiritually disciplined life, which I know will lay a solid foundation for all areas of discipline. Spiritual disciplines are defined by Brett and Kate McKay as “habits, practices and experiences that are designed to develop, grow and strengthen the ‘muscles’ of one’s character and expand the breadth of one’s inner life. They structure the ‘workouts’ which train the soul.” This goes right along with 1 Timothy 4:7-8: Train yourself for godliness, for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
Okay With Never Enough
These past few weeks have been much of a blur…doctor appointments and tests, followed by a hospital stay for my dad; the first women’s ministry event under my leadership as campus coordinator; teaching at another campus; trying to determine the cause of the water in my basement and getting it fixed; receiving the news that my daughter has been scheduled for another knee surgery (this will be the third in four years); getting dad back home and settled and continuing to check in and care for him, participating in the wedding of a close friend; and preparing to teach Vacation Bible School. All this in addition to the regular rhythms of life.
