Today is a settling in for a normal day of work. I am sure some may wonder if I work at all but there always seems like something to do. But in the back of my mind I am projecting myself into the future. For you see my spouse is coming home from Europe this Friday. She has been gone a little over three weeks. I am looking forward to her coming home. As I think of her return I am going to enjoy hearing her stories of her trip and I will try to catch her up on what has been going on here. It will just be very nice to reconnect. I am thankful for my family and the way they have been so supportive of me through the years.
As I think about this reunion about to take place, I am asking God to help me have that kind of a relationship with Him. Somehow, it is not at the same level. Oh, I talk to Him and at times feel His presence but there are other times when that feeling is not so strong. I suppose I have been guilty of acting like a personal relationship with God is so easy when in fact it goes through many phases. I know it is hard to believe that after 30 plus years of being a pastor I am still just learning to walk with God. Today I am going to be asking God to speak anew to me.
