I am reading a book called The Me I Want to Be by John Ortberg. I purchased the book at a church in Nashville- Crosspoint Community Church. It is similar to Elevation Church in Charlotte--- both are great experiences! The question in the title is something I ask myself often, but how do you determine the "well-being of your soul"? This book gave 2 questions that might provide a bit of insight that I am finding helpful:
Ask yourself these 2 questions:
(1) Am I more easily discouraged these days?
(2) Am I more easily irritated these days?
I believe, as this book points about, that at the core of a flourishing soul are the love and peace of God. The flourishing soul is equal to walking in the Spirit. When I walk in the Spirit, I tend to be more loving and less discouraged and irritable. How about you? I also know that when I am more self-centered, I get irritated and discouraged and I show a languishing spirit not a flourishing one. Something to think about this week.
At Hickory Valley Christian School, our focus is to glorify God in everything we do as Paul says in I Corinthians 10:31. We want to teach our children to walk in the Spirit along with providing academic excellence in a nurturing environment. If you have children at our school, I am sure you see and feel this kind of environment. Thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of serving you and your children!
Have blessed week!
