Sometimes I get in a funk... and I don't understand why... It's like, I just need to stop and think about what is going on around me... and contemplate all that is happenning...
I think I'm out of my "funk" now..... but I continue to still think about:
What does God want for me?
Where does He want me to serve? And on what day of the week? I love both the youth and the 4s and 5s, and sometimes... It just gets too draining to work in both ministries on Sunday mornings.. I am seeking God out to see what He wants me to do and change/not change.
Did I do the right thing and did I buy the right car?
How many mistakes do I make daily?
How many people are actually watching me to see if I hold firm to my faith?
How many people around me know that I am active in church and have a heart for missions?
I think that all of us have people watching us that we don't even realize. I think that we will be surprised when we get to heaven and realize all the times that we were shining for Him and that people recognized it when they were in the midst of the darkness.. We should always be on a "mission"... at the workplace, at the mall, at the movies, at church ..... We should always be imitating Christ so that we will be a light.. If we can accomplish this, then we will reach our goal of being Christ-like and actually live a life without any hypocrisy.
I've been thinking a lot about hypocrisy lately... and how sometimes I feel like I'm a hyprocrite when I say things that aren't appropriate or do things that I know I shouldn't in front of non-christians... Other times I feel like a hypocrite when I just think about things wrongly within my head... Granted, sometimes, many times, we commit sins and that is all that it could merely be... but could it be hints of hypocrisy as well... I really don't know... This is something that I am pondering... Let me know your opinion.
Sorry for all of the tangents and the run on of thoughts....

The car is just post-buying guilt, I wouldn't worry about it. If you ever decide it is not right you could sell it, but I don't think that will happen.
You shouldn't have to do every ministry that everyone asks you to do...you can say no...even to youth...ugg dare I say it? But, my personal bias is there is a lot more people to help in that area then ours...teens are scary to most...kids are not.
And we should always be conscious about our example as you are...and we all can improve...so we should pray that God would daily change us...as I am sure you do...
