it is what it is
Sawyer was talking about church the other day. He wants God on his terms not on his parents terms. In a way I understand this. We must all meet God face to face for ourselves. Our need or lack of need shouldn't be based on our parents requirements but on our commitment to Him.
Terry and I at one time were critical of others spiritually. So many people are hypocrites. Church is a habit not an relationship. I do believe over time we got better with this issue. You just learn to accept others for where they are and let God deal with them. And He does.
What I still have a problem with is those in authority not living up to what they themselves teach. It is a hard pill to swallow to watch them not living it. It's not like they don't know it, they just talk a big talk.
I feel inadequate to jump into my calling. Surely there must be others who are more qualified then myself? Than I see them not living what they preach. But the thing is I am.
I am just by nature a rule follower. I don't drive but 5 miles over the speed limit. I never steal and I didn't lie. I was just too afraid of getting into trouble.
People are disappointing at times.
For me I must remind myself that they to are imperfect.
We are all on equal playing fields.
They aren't above or below me.
Jesus does take up my slack.
Because of my imperfection, He carries me.
The simple truth is people are smarter, witter, prettier and richer than me.
But SO WHAT!
Do I not also have something to contribute?
Was I not created for such a time as this?
I realize others can do things better than I can.
It is what it is.
But I also realize I have something to offer.
Take what helps you and leave the rest.
Someone else may need it
