Takes 2 hands to clap


Tonight, i prayed with my beautiful wife about the will of God in our lives.
And i have to say that it was definitely one of our longer prayer times together. We were simply just longing desperately to dwell in His awesome presence for some time now.
What started the chain of "seeking God's will" episode these few days in our lives was really drawn from a hunger deep within our hearts to know His marvelous plans for us. Since we got married, we've been pretty much sitting on the idea of doing missionary work and being out there in "the fields". We, somehow, lost that urge and desire and we've realized how attached we've become with our work and the routines of life's worries like the new apartment, planning for kids & etc. And to put it quite crudely, my procrastination was pissing me off!

So TOP resolution (i would probably regard it more as a commandment....) this year would be................................. to prepare ourselves in EVERY possible area to work towards going out there! there you have it.... let's see when it'll come to past.

Something i read from the book by R. Arthur Mathews really inspired me. He wrote " that God's commands are issued from a basis of complete knowledge and perfect power, not form a calculated gamble on the chances of success. Because god's commands are never speculative or experimental, He is not required to formulate contingency plans to cover failure"
