Rhythms of Apprenticeship
The decision to start the journey of becoming a follower of God may be the easiest part. It is the start of your apprenticeship path for spiritual development that you will quickly find that it takes strength, determination, and growth above all else in your life. No two journeys are alike but when we allow ourselves to let God in and help us with our brokenness, success will come.

I often wonder what God feels when I think of myself as a disciple of his. I know I fall short of what he may have planned for me, but he also knows my head and my heart and he will never give up on me. The world is a bright shiny thing- dangling right in front of me and even at my age I fall for the shiny more than I care to admit. But as I grow in his word, He is always there pulling me right back to him. He never leaves me and He never will.

As Pastor Pete said in his sermon to be on this journey - Every day I will be intentional and that also includes Every day I will be in the bible. Psalm 19:7 says- The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. I see myself all over this scripture. The more I am reading Christian books, in his word, in bible studies, around like-minded Christians, I know that I am learning and discovering how much more clearer the bible becomes for me. As Pastor also said- Every day I will be praying about my insight. This gives me a new and different way to see my life as I spiritually grow. I feel more at peace with the daily challenges I face. Many of the old ways are no longer a part of my life-anger is slower to rise and easier to see coming and easier to stop it. Holding on to grudges, resentments, pettiness, all seem worthless to me now. God helped me to see that.

So, everyday I will be praying about my brokenness and rejoicing in his Mercies, Grace, Word, and Love. He is never stingy with any of these blessings.

Psalm 119:130- The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

Thank you Lord for your daily help!

PEACE- LOVE- PRAYERS
