Ultimate Selfie week 40

-



"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth"  
(2 Timothy 2:15, ESV).




REFLECTION
I watched the crowd as they...
Smiled.
Clicked.
Frowned.
Smiled again.
Snapped one more.
The smile replaced by a big grin.
Finally!
They captured it.
Hurry #tag that!
Hit post.
Ignored were the game and smiling companions all around.
But alas, all over campus, satisfied at last were multiple attempts for the ultimate selfie.

IMAGINE THIS
Have you ever considered your reflection?
Not the physical one that looks back from the looking glass or lens.
Your true reflection – the one beyond the mirror? How would you describe it?
The reflection that depicts your character?

What about your neighbors? What synonyms would they use to describe you?
Would their summary words vary depending upon how well they knew you? Of course they would! 

How about folks who don’t even know you – they pass judgement just the same – what would they say? Would they be accurate based upon your actions and speech? 

As women of Christ, it is important for our reflection to - well - reflect Christ. What this means is that we have to possess a welcoming aura. An aura that gives off light. Hope. Kindness. Joy. Peace. Goodness…and the list from Galatians 5:22 goes on.

Recently, I’ve really been thinking about my own aura. Do I truly reflect Christ? Am I honestly in love with Him? Do I spend enough time with Him on a daily basis?

I have a lot of questions that I need to answer regarding my Christian walk. Questions that only time with God will reveal. So I find myself with yet another reason to take this Bible study seriously. Not haphazardly, not hurriedly, but seriously. With purpose. With passion.
I hope that you too, will spend time reflecting on your personal walk with Christ this fall. Now is the time for us to be equipped - His kingdom is coming - and unlike the ultimate selfie - there will be no do-overs...

Have a blessed week y'all - In Christ with Love and Compassion - Coach Kelly

Create in Me

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10) SEVERAL years ago, I drove across a few back WVa back roads, across Dolly Sods and Red Creek.  While taking this picture, I considered how the creek,  (pounced crick where I come from),  had marked out its own path . The interesting thing about a creek, is that when the water is high, it hides what’s laying in the creek bed; but a low water level reveals unsightly debris. Some debris, fallen trees and leaves, occur naturally. Other stuff, tires, plastic bags, bottles, they are deposited there on purpose. But debris is debris…and it mires the beauty of the creek and can change the course of the waters flow. Interestingly enough, Christians have a lot in common with a creek…and  when a Believer’s faith ‘ebbs and flows’, it sends a message to anyone watching, and they will  take notice. We’re all guilty of the spiritual ebb and flow phenomenon.  When our faith is high...

Christmas Wonderings

-

  I wonder if I  pray differently than most people? Or maybe I pray exactly like most people…? My mind wanders, I fall asleep, I get interrupted…and then I’m done. Sound familiar?  What I need is to be outside, away from distractions. So this chilly morning, wrapped in a heated blanket on an enclosed porch, I entered into a quiet place of prayer. As an author, writer, introverted-mess, I’ve found the best way for me to talk to God is to write my part out and wait. As I’m sitting here this morning, enjoying Christmas on the porch and blogging, I thought of King David. He didn’t always have an ideal place to pray, yet that didn’t stop him from jotting down some desperate prayers. I’ll go out on a limb here, and assume that like me, he had some introverted traits, too.  Maybe that’s why I can relate to David’s prayers. I love how his writings jump from distress to praise without missing a beat! Still, “ as a man after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22), I wonder how mu...
