My neighbor

The blogs are going to be coming more frequently over the next week or so.  There will be three types coming; personal entries, Book of Philippian entries, and consumerism quotes - linked to the paper I am writing on Consumerism and the American Church.

Here is my personal entry:

My wife has struck up a good relationship with our neighbor.  She is a sweet lady with fibromyalgia.  She takes care of her grandkids a lot.  She is pretty sad, but finds joy through her grandkids.  To me, they are her source of life.

This past week she was feeling good enough to come to church.  I started the series on the book of Philippians titled "finding life."  This past Sunday dealt with the idea that God has laid a burden on each one of us.  Paul felt God's burden with a dream to go to Macedonia and plant a church there.  God does the same for us.  When we actually respond to that call is when we find true life.

So I finished by asking a question; What is God asking you to do?  She answers out loud at the front of the church, "believe."  God still moves.  Do you hear him still speaking to you?  He is.  He who has begun a good work in you will see through to completion.

What is God asking you to do?
