 Posted on Sat, Mar 13, 2010 The first thing I would like to do is say I am sorry. I am sorry that I did not post my blog last week. There has been some changes going on in my little corner of the world. Moving, lots and lots of moving. Let's see in the past two weeks one of my kids got married, another one got engaged, so they are moving in new directions. The church I attend started packing so we can move to a new location. My wife Sherri and I have started moving into a new home. And lastly I started working at the local Wal-Mart because they are remodeling, moving stuff around in the store. Lots and lots of moving going on all around me. Now before anyone thinks I am just reposting something that I wrote on Face Book and stops reading this please let me finish. No this posting is about something else that happened since my last blog posting. I am not sure how to say this any other way so I will just come out and say it. I LET THE EVENTS OF THIS WORLD COME BETWEEN ME AND GOD! Now stop and take a moment to catch your breath. Think about what I just said. I just admitted out loud what many of US do everyday. We get so busy and caught up with what is going on in our lives we don't go about our Father's business. I got so busy with all of the moving going on around me that I didn't move to my computer and do the very thing God called me to do. I forgot the very reason I started posting blogs in the first place. This all started with Net60. Let me refresh those of you who might have forgotten what Net60 was about. It was about stopping what you were doing in your hectic life and focusing on God at least one time during the day. Now did I quit thinking about God while I was doing all of the moving? NO! I thought about Him quite a bit, God give me strength to move this couch, Lord help me get through the hub-bub that goes along with this wedding, and many little things like these. But I never STOPPED and gave Him the time He so richly deserves. I am sure God is happy with these little moments of our time. After all we are made in His image and we enjoy those brief moments we get with those we love. But we also get very fustrated with drive-by relationships. And I am sure God is no different. And that is what these last two weeks have been for me and God a drive-by relationship. So let me say it again. I am sorry. I am sorry that I let the events going on in my life come between you (the reader) and me. But most of all I am sorry God that I let THINGS come between our relationship.

~Kingschyld~ I'm in tears now as I just finish reading your blog. For a couple of reasons.
First I must say how awesome it is to see you at this place. Broken and humbled before God. Not that I enjoy seeing people broken but I do enjoy seeing people and MYSELF humbled before God. It puts us in a place to be molded and shaped by the Father. Just two years ago I would never have dreamed I'd see those words being poured from your spirit. That my friend is what brought me to tears. Your growth in the Lord. Remember when you're questioning all that, that others see it.
And TWO, my tears are because I too have put THINGS before my God. Oh Lord, I too am so sorry. Sorry I've put this church move before you, sorry I've put the hubub of the wedding before you, sorry I've put the hubub of the new baby coming before you, sorry I've put the "worries" of life before you!
So are you happy now Jeff? HUH? You have made your pastor's wife cry! LOL Sherrie You must first create an account to post.
