Which seed am I?
Hey everyone!It's been a while since I've blogged and hey my last post was pretty strange,I had a lot of anger 2 vent out there!Lol.
So it's harvest time again and I'm reminded of the beauty and splendor of the world and I can't believe how some people think all of this has been created by some huge explosion!I mean come on!!Lol. Well I was at the harvest service at my church tonight and I was reminded of this little parable, and I found that God was using this tonight to hit a few home trues with me...
Ok,so there are 4 different places that the seed falls,
- Some fell on the road and the birds came and ate it up- these are the people who listen to the word but they do not understand it and do not make any effort to try and understand it.
- Some fell on the rocky ground where there wasn't much soil, so the roots weren't deep-these are the people who listen to the word and quickly accepts it with joy but does not let the teaching grow deep in their lives. So when persecution or trouble comes along they can't handle it.
- Some fell on the thorny weeds which grew and choked the good plants-these are the people who hear the word but let worries about this life and temptations of the world stop them from growing in faith.
- Lastly, some fell on the good ground where it was able to multiply-these are the people who are rooted in Gods' teaching and love. These are the people who understand the word and let's it grow in their lives so that it multiplies and takes effect in their lives.
(Taken from Matthew 13)
So at the moment if I'm totally honest I think I am the seed that fell on the thorny weeds. But I'm glad God brought this to my attention because only now can I fix it. And there are two ways to react to this realisation, 1.)PANIC and worry because I've failed and I have'nt shown God the love and respect he truely deserves or 2.)I can ask God for forgiveness and move on and try to make a difference. And right now I think I'm worrying and panicing enough about other stuff so I guess I'll opt for option 2!
Well I leave for bonnie Scotland on Tuesday....I can't wait!!!I am meeting up with Rachy lass on Wednesday all being well and I'm SO excited that I get 2 see her again!YEY!
Omgoodness, after church we had a wee choir practice (the Russians-6 girls), we usually sing a wee piece at Christmas. Last year we sang Do you hear what I hear?and it was totally amazing...if I do say so myself. But we have now took the plunge and we are looking at doing O Holy Night......hmmm well there were a lot of giggles to be shared tonight as we tried to reach top G....YES......TOP G!!!!So please we need your prayers that we can keep practicing this and hopefully make it beautiful. Plus our musical director- Elizabeth has done something 2 her leg and has a big plaster on with crutches so she really needs our prayers!
Well guys I'm gonna shoot the crow coz I got up at 8.30am today thinking it was 9.30am so it has completely knocked me out of sync. I need a lot of shut eye!!! Hope y'all are well!!!
Love ya all lots
