Christianity With Tracey

Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the following definition for “drift“:  to become driven or carried along (as by a current of water, wind, or air).  Merriam-Webster gives the following definition for “guide“:  direct in a way or course.  I also noticed this under “guide”:  guide implies intimate knowledge of the way and of all its difficulties and dangers.  So, are you being drifted, or guided?

At the beginning of Sunday school today, we talked about “drifting away from God.”  I can’t remember everything that was said (I am always walking the back row; back and forth with my 1 year old…hey, it’s the only way I can go.  We don’t have nursery during Sunday school for babies, and my hubby always ends up having to work overtime on Sunday mornings because so many guys call in.  I don’t mind, but I don’t always catch everything that is said.).  However, I remember some people talking about some definitions for “drifting.”

Someone mentioned that if you are drifting, then you are going away slowly; another said that drifting is when the wind is just pushing you any ole which way.  Others commented on how when you are drifting then sin starts to “not look so bad anymore.”  Hmph…definitely, all of those are true.

I’ve been drifting a bit here lately.  I’m not doing my devotional time in the morning like I should be.  I’m getting too concerned with these blogs and “making money.”  I need to get back to getting up, making my yummy tea, and coming into the living room and reading my Our Daily Bread devotional and reading the section for reading the Bible through in a year.  Then, I will begin to feel more guided by Jesus again.  I love Him so…
