Knock knock Rod…are you there?

Yes…I’m here. It’s been a month since I’ve touched my blog - oh…for some good reasons. My parents took my sisters family and our family on a trip to Anaheim!! And you know who’s in Anaheim??? Yes…Mickey, Minnie and the Disney gang! One highlight of our trip was also visiting wiht my aunties, cousins and new second cousins. Ah-h-h-h-h…the family bonding and building time. I was awakened once again to the importance of being with family - my family, parents, sisters family and brother, not to mention the extended multitudes of relatives in LA, CA! The roller coaster rides were fun and exhilerating, but no comparison to the joy and love of being with family!

The Lord has been knocking on my heart…”Knock Knock Rod…are you listening to ME?” Here’s what I hear Him saying to me the past several weeks:

1. Your busyness does not mean you are doing My will.
2. While doing your devotions, listen to how I desire to change your life. Be careful not to just read my Word - meditate on My Word!
3. Your wife and children were given to you to steward, grow in relationship with and to build their relationship with Me. So - be careful to spend time with them - when you are home.
4. Build disciples while building leaders. Disciples is what I’ve called you to make.
5. Don’t give up caring and loving when no one is looking. Watch that motive - don’t serve to be seen!
6. Be refreshed in knowing that I love you based on the sacrifice of My Son, not on your works. I accept you unconditionally.

It’s good to be back on line with God and you. Knock, Knock…are you answering His call?
