i’m so grateful to know that rollercoaster doesn’t nullify my “usefulness” for His Kingdom…

ugh…this is one of those kung fu kicks to the spiritual gut blog post! I am speaking this saturday on finding freedom, and yet I am often a hypocrit. I proclaim this freedom that is true and it does offer hope and yet it times I myself don’t even embrace it. Just this morning I cooked those little pancakes for my daughter and I followed the time and maybe even went over. She picked one up took a bite and said ewww its still cold inside. Falling in love with Jesus was the easy part but staying in love with Him is a fight I engage in daily. I have to die daily….
Thanks Pete:) love this!

I sure am on the same roller coaster as you, and I praise God everyday for it, because without the severity of the lows, one cannot appreciate the magnificence of the highs. Only this morning, just like another person who left a comment here today, I was looking at the graph of my blog stats and I chuckled as I saw it really looked like a roller-coaster. I chuckled because I often describe myself to people as a yoyo: now up, now down, and the graph in the blog ironically confirmed my very nature. Hey, that is why we need Jesus in our life, right? Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, said the Lord. Amen to that! .-= anewcreation´s last blog ..A man is what his wife sees, as a woman is what her husband sees =-.

I have seen that graph plotted on a white board and have even been guilty of making that some myself.

I don’t like to think of it as a jagged graph raising slightly to the right any longer. I like to think of sanctification as more of a marathon with hurdles. It is a long run and we can’t jump all the hurdles at one time. We have to jump them as we come to them. Sometimes we are going to knock some down and maybe even have to ‘rejump’ them but eventually we will move on to the next set.

The beginning of James chapter 1 looks like that to me.

Absolutely. I'm glad Peter and I aren't the only ones that deal with this. .-= TD´s last blog ..My Birthday Wish List =-.

I can so relate to this. Just as I feel like I’m maturing as a Christian I do something that I want to kick myself for. I think a lot of it is also growing up in a denomination that didn’t show a lot of grace. I always felt like I needed to be perfect. I have to keep reminding myself it’s a process that doesn’t just happen overnight.
