Leviticus 10-12; Acts 16

friends vs. mentoring
mentoring vs. mothering
why the word versus?
had an amazing breakfast w/a couple of gals this morning and wondering where being a follower of Christ gets in?
'feels' like i do this all the freakin time.....and then i remember that every decision is a spiritual decision so why wouldn't it, i/we are all fighting a battle.
and that i GET TO fight this battle w/so many is such an awesome privilege. human beings/me is as full of sin as i am YOU. is that true?
and then i read.....
in Leviticus 10 about the young men, sons of aaron who brought 'strange fire' to Your altar and were incinerated...?
scary
how much 'strange fire' do i bring to every conversation, Your Altar if everything is Spiritual?
and then in Acts Jesus Spirit STOPPING them......literally in their way stopping them, can i count on that??
so much i don't understand and that lack of understanding brings me more and more solidly to a dependence on You that maybe ......maybe makes me more 'fragrant' to You but not others?? I don't know Abba, i just know where You have me the people You have around me makes it a bit safer to find out and that safety or maybe it's freedom makes life more RISKY and exciting.
now......how do i live in that risk and excitement and freedom??
