A need?

I am not very good at keeping a blog. Let me just admit that fact right up front! But I have noticed one thing. Although this blog has not been updated in quite some time, I still get a lot of page impressions. That tells me that people are looking for lessons from God. People need to hear from God. Do I think that I have answers for them? No. But God does. And maybe, just maybe, something that He teaches me will help others if I just write about it here!

So, I am going to keep this blog more updated and use the gifts God has given me for His Glory. I must make the time. Life is very busy and hectic for me. I run the catering division of a successful privately owned restaurant and when I am not busy on a catering, I work in the restaurant as a manager. I have two teenagers at home, and one who lives with his father several states away. Add two cats, two dogs and a landlord who wants to sell my home, and yes, it's a crazy busy life! But if I can not take time out for God....... Just a few minutes a day to listen and hear what He places on my heart. Just a few minutes a day to find quiet and be able to type..... If I can not do this, do I really deserve His goodness? No way! Truth is, even if I do these things I do not deserve His goodness!

That's the wonderful thing about God and His goodness. We don't deserve any of it, but He freely gives it anyhow.

Sidewalk Prophets put it great in their song " You love me anyways "

"I am the thorn in Your crown

But You love me anyway

I am the sweat from Your brow

But You love me anyway

I am the nail in Your wrist

But You love me anyway

I am Judas’ kiss

But You love me anyway

See now, I am the man who yelled out from the crowd

For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking

ground

Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face

With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace

And then alone in the night, I still called out for You

So ashamed of my life, my life, my life

But You love me anyway

Oh, God… how you love me"
