thought for the day

June 10, 2002

i'd write more tonight, but i'm pretty tired :)

so here's a thought that crossed my mind this morning while i was sitting in service. i have no idea where it came from or why i was thinking about it. but i thought about it. i was thinking about the conversations i have with people and the questions i normally ask people:

- how's it going?
- how's school?
- how's your spiritual life?

those kinda questions. so i started to think about it some more. why is it that i have to ask people about their spiirtual life, and school, and this, and that. shouldn't it be interlinked with everything? our relationship with God, is not a separate life from the rest of what we do in our everyday life, rather our relationship with God helps direct what we do in our everyday life, because to follow Jesus, requires us to act in a certain way, etc. or at least it should.

it would seem that the answer to my question is simple, and to be honest it is. i already know what the answer is.

i just think i'd be such a wonderful thing that when we talked with other believers, we wouldn't need to ask such 'pointed' or 'directed' questions that would seem to segregate our Christian life with our normal life, but instead, a simple, "how's it going" could result in an answer like "wow, God's doing amazing things in my life. i've been learning so much in my quiet time with Him" or something to that. wouldn't that be awesome? :)

just a thought.

i'll probably write some more about what happened today tomorrow. but for now, i must sleep. i gotta have a chat w/ tim tomorrow morning :)

g'nite! :)
