Leftovers

Day 1

I, for one, hate leftovers. for the most part. there are the occasional kinds of leftovers i will eat. but most likely if it's a couple days old, i'm not eating it.

i've been reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan recently and just finished a chapter that talked about giving God our leftovers. what i thought was interesting (and thought of for the first time) was that God has the same feelings about leftovers as we do...he doesn't want 'em. how can something not be good enough for us, but somehow good enough for a Holy God who gives us His best and demands the same of us? simple, i know, but still profound. i can't fill my life with all of these "things of God" and then give Him what's left, which is usually very little. he wants my best. and He deserves nothing less.

The 30 Day Challenge

ok. it's been almost 5 months since i posted on this blog. however, in an attempt to kind of be accountable to myself, i am challenging myself to a 30 day period of daily posts on what God is teaching me. since i know no one reads this, this really is something of a self accountability tool. if you have stumbled upon my musings, welcome. i encourage you to check back daily looking for the current day's post. if there isn't one to be found, i give anyone the authority to email me and ask "What's up?" for today's post, i will be writing later this afternoon when i get home. i would say check back about 5 pm for the first real post.

is there anyone out there who happens to still click their way onto my blog?
