Thank You Back Thursday

I work from home. This means I am my sole colleague and like a crazy person naturally I will converse with myself- but I imagine its another person.

The situation exactly!

This afternoon I was giving some advice on child rearing, "because I have experience in what to do with children in certain situations" and toyed with the idea of writing a book.

While I was recounting all this, it struck me that:

1) I have no good ideas. On my own I would self destruct. Everything "good" I have done has been the influence of the Holy Spirit- because I have no good ideas. I have very stupid ideas. eg, A while ago last year  I wanted to get this tatted on my body:

So I'm always smiling

Head B*tch In Charge

Can you see how randomly ridiculous my thinking is???  Looking back from my gap year, to involvement on the SRC, to working in a busy team at my old job, to serving on the camera team at church and now to this new job! Its not that I've been the best suited person to do this, I'm a hazard to myself and society so God has kept me busy to keep me away from myself and pursuing serious tomfoolery!

2 Corinthians 3:5

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.

Before I go and big up my damn self for getting to where I am, I have to stop to have #TBT.

As my life unravels down this new path, I know a lot of things are going to change, but I always want to be that foolish thing for God, so He can use me up! 

1 Corinthians 1 26-30

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,  so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,holiness and redemption.

Darlene Zschech #coolsurname correctly says "Glory was never intended for humans. It was only ever intended for God. If we get glory, it is not a matter of if it will ruin us, its a matter of when. Let's always deflect any glory we receive to the throne where it belongs."
