A Blog a Day??? Count the Cost!

I committed to blogging everyday in 2011.  I didn't take into account those days when I have completely poured myself out.  Let this be a lesson to me: never promise something without counting the cost!
Jesus warned us about this. Luke 14: 27-33.


 27And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it-- 29lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying, "This man began to build and was not able to finish.' 31Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. 


Granted, blogging is nowhere near the importance of war or building a tower, but the principle remains.  Wisdom says, "Always count the cost!"  I will fulfill my promise to the best of my ability, but tonight, I am too tired to think deep thoughts.  


We had a glorious healing mission in Manitou Springs, CO.  The people of God are beautiful and hungry for more of Him!  I must spend some quality time with God and unpack all that He has done for us this weekend.  I feel totally blessed.  I never ceased to be blown away how God pours back many times over the blessings that we give out! 


Good night all, and keep praying for the ones suffering in Japan!  Anna Marie
