John 9-11

I am blessed to be in a group w/women who read and journal together once a week and now we are beginning to share our journaling in and through email ....I love it....the encouragement I get from reading how He touches them..... Dan and I riding home from Iowa yesterday I said I wish people could see him the way I do of a morning…both of us teary and soft begging God to show us where He wants us….
so I love talking about this stuff…I love encouraging what I see in each of them, because of the time they are spending with Him…..wonder how to get this with other people and then I begin to wonder WHY I need it….why I can’t be simply awed by Him…..

This morning we were caught up in the blind man’s healing. Wondering if he lost the wonder of being blind and being allowed to see? The story ends w/Jesus saying….John 9: 38"Master, I believe," the man said, and worshiped him. 39Jesus then said, "I came into the world to bring everything into the clear light of day, making all the distinctions clear, so that those who have never seen will see, and those who have made a great pretense of seeing will be exposed as blind."
Did the blind man lose His wonder…do we?? We started talking about if we lived at the foot of the mountains would we ever stop being awestruck by them?? I think we would. Dan said he would always be thinking about how to climb them and I would simply lose the wonder of them…..we just wondered if that’s indicative about how we think of Jesus……we didn’t come to any conclusions just made for a good discussion….how to live in wonder at being saved, chosen….His sheep???
I think in that wonder I would be more responsively obedient.....I think maybe that's what's happening and it is harder than I want life to be....a sheep follows her shepherd.....that's who I want to be. 2010 a year of following.....
