Squinting In Fog

 

Christi Bowman

I've found myself addicted to many things that have hurt me spiritually, but with the help of an AMAZING God, a WONDERFUL husband, and a few good friends I am overcoming. I have what some people call an addictive personality, and I have heard it said that when one addiction is given up it can be quickly replaced with the next best thing that comes along...all I can say is I HOPE SO.

God Speaks

11:30 PM by Christi Bowman

I read Discipleship 101 on Gary's blog, and Decide to be Part of a Tribe on Seth's.

Content like this makes me sad. I want this.

I have asked God:

"Why haven't you moved us?"
"Where are the disciplers?"
"Where is my tribe?"

He said to me:

"If I were to let you go right now you would depend more on them then you would on me and I am a jealous God"

and then He gave me Galatians 1:15-18:

15But when he(A) who had set me apart(B) before I was born,[a] and who(C) called me by his grace, 16was pleased to reveal his Son to[b] me, in order(D) that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;[c] 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

18Then(E) after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.

God is not silent. He is straight forward, and He doesn't always tell you what you want to hear.
