Some of the thoughts running through my head: Am I becoming who I'm supposed to be? What areas have I grown in over the last year? How am I doing as a husband? Am I becoming a better father? What does it mean to get "better" at being a husband &/or dad? Are we on the right track at church? What steps are necessary for us to take in order to keep growing in the manner God would intend for us? How can we not just maintain or slip backwards by falling into routine? What is the tangible difference between the Holy Spirit's leading & the my own will driving me towards something?
Lord, please do Your work in me - in my family. Give me wisdom to know when to sit & rest, & also when to get up & go for it. May I prioritize people over things, & Your priorities & values over all else. Guide our church family, that we wouldn't languish due to laziness, & strive due to selfish ambition. May we be about Your business, O God & let the monsters that drive the machine of church not get a hold of me. Show us how we can continue to let our good works shine from this "City on a Hillside" to bring glory & honor to You.
