Holy Cow my desk is messy!!!! Not to mention my car or that corner of the bedroom my wife allows me to occupy and lets leave the checkbook and finances out of this. ITS ALL A MESS - A FILTHY MESS! The Story of my life!
I am a part of a men's group and we are in the process of life mapping - looking back at your life and recording the key relationships and events that have brought you to were you are today. A very big part of this process is recognizing themes and trends in your life. In my quest to life map it has become apparent that a constant theme in my life is a lack of discipline - wether it be internal or external. I used to rebel against anything or anyone that sought to discipline me or hold me accountable - NOW I CRAVE IT!
It is crazy how I could live over half of my life demanding to steer my ship and balking at any form of direction and today I stand ready and willing to hand over the reigns of my life to Christ. I have handed them over and in the same breath taken them back. I have given it all to Him in complete surrender only to bargain for some of it back. "Here, God, you take this and I will keep this." I think I am starting to get what Paul called a "daily dying unto self."
So, that being said, just for today, I am giving ALL (the good and the bad) of my life over to Christ and I will let tommorrow take care of tommorrow. Today, I will follow Him in hopes that he will find some use for me in His ever expanding kingdom and maybe somewhere down the line He will help me clean up MY MESS!
