What a week this has been...lots of 'positioning' going on (in Massachusets, for instance). Shifting positions come and go very quickly, yes? And they are not limited to any particular area of one's life. As a child of His, I weigh my positions as carefully as I possibly can, but guess what? I'm not perfect...ha! I'm not even in the perfect neighborhood...comes to sticking my foot in the mouth? Like an echo.
Some stances bother me though. I wouldn't like to think I would never (that's a big word) change my thinking on anything. Especially if someone proved to me that my stance was errant. That's dangerous...like a concrete mind...all mixed up and already set. Hard nut to crack. Politics can be that way...religion can be that way...you name it and anything can be that way...set in concrete!
Best way for me is not to take someone's word on things but to go to the source myself and sort it out best I can. Granted, I'm not a college grad, not up in the professional world...you might ask "What are you then?" Okay, what I see myself as is a mature, logical, responsible person ~ a spirit-filled child of God. Like the apostle Paul, running the race to the finish line...I'm using that strategy...Paul's an excellent coach.
Responsibility is a biggie to me...who am I responsible to anyway? Well, #1 priority is God, my Father. My #2 would be to my shepherd's...that covers another category, my husband, since I'm married to a shepherd. Those priorities tend to be my security blanket...they do a top notch job of it. I respect them...God and my shepherd's...they have my best interest at heart. They're truly respected. I can't imagine thinking of them any other way...I realize there are those who don't feel the same...besides other things, that's sad.
Today, here's this person (that would be me)...plugged into God's Positioning System...talk about reliability? Wow, way to go!
