This was the year that I was gonna do stuff.

In 2003 I felt God’s challenge to step back from up front leadership stuff for a year. No more waving my arms around. No more telling people what they need to do spiritually. No more basing my whole relationship with God on what I needed to do for others. Just me and God.

So I started on January 1 2004. A momentous day.

Now it’s June. What has happened?

Well, I’m not doing as many things. That’s a start. But I’m also doing other things. That’s ok.

But what of spiritual growth? What of increased power? What about deeper intimacy?

Maybe that’ll happen in July, maybe in August…

Time to press on. Time to press in.
