My Disobedience
I believe God has a sovereign will, I also believe I have a responsibity to share my faith (obedience). Today as Mikko and My neighbor's hubby are away for different reasons, My neighbor and her boys came over to make Christmas cookies. She is a believer. She shared how an alcoholic neighbor I know of died of diabetes, his girlfriend shared with my neighbors husband.
I had this gross feeling in my stomach. I had seen them before. Once, drunk in action. She was pushing him away and we were coming home from somewhere. My instinct was to ask if she needed help and invite her in our home. But no...too inconvenient, we came from traveling, "had" to unpack.
It was put in my heart to invite them to our Thanksgiving coffee. But for one reason or another, I did not do it. All I had to do was ask my neighbors where they lived. I am disobedient. I don't want anyone to experience Hell. I don't know where this man is, but from what I know the chances are grave (no pun intended).
Why do I doubt what the Holy Spirit can do in my life? Only God can save, and I have the opportunity to take part in His great plan in letting Him work in me. Any encouragement, or insight would be nice right now. Meanwhile, I think I'll go get swallowed by a whale...

someone once said well to me,
we have to learn to step out of our own comfort zone, not be afraid of what might and might not happen, how what we´d do would make us feel. We should rather think about what we do and say can make others feel and think !!
So be brave, step out, speak out and hand out a helping hand, like you wanted to this particular lady!!
And like grace said...atleast you recognize what is the "problem" here, then you know what it is that you need to change!!
Bless you!
