I wrote this last Tuesday but forgot to publish it so here it is......This morning I woke up full of energy and ready to go. I looked at my clock at 6:15am and thought why can't it be 7:15 already so for the next hour I rolled around in bed until finally it was 7:14am, that was good enough for me! I jumped up out of bed and got ready to go, I even managed to have some extra time this morning to write in this blog.
Most of you might be wondering okay you are happy, I get it. However, I have been listening to a set of sermons that I have downloaded at work from a conference and this guy, Chris Lemke has been talking to me every morning about having a child-like faith. Chris calls this something like having the okayness of a 3 year old.
A 3 year old does not analyze the little problems, which I often find myself doing and wasting time over. A 3 year old does not ask very many questions about someone who they are meeting for the first time, so there is very little judgment that takes place in the mind of a 3 year old. I was walking the other day with my host mom and we passed a little boy wearing a diaper and a t-shirt standing inside his house looking out the door. My guess is that he is about 2 years old and while we walked past his house he looks at us outside and yells hi and waves. He doesn't care that he is in a diaper standing in doorway and yelling at complete strangers. He is just concerned about the people that are outside his house. I wonder what would happen in our churches if we had the okayness of a 3 year old?
