The Cart Before the Horse
I've had the incredible privilege of being challenged and having my toes stepped on by books and studies the past couple weeks. Books that were on my "To Be Read" shelf. And I was fascinated by how they all seemed to go together and intertwine and convict me when they are all completely different.
I won't go into any great detail here, but I do want to ask you: Are you putting the cart before the horse?
How many times do we go off on our own agendas without seeking HIM first?
Should we even have our own agendas?
Aren't we the servants to the Master?
Jesus said, "Come. Follow Me."
He didn't say, "Kim, I'll make sure I give you an itinerary and let you check it before you go."
I love it that He hasn't given up on me and that I'm still learning even though I have such a long way to go.
And I will definitely be working on keeping that cart in the rear where it belongs...

A Chance to Win a Kindle and Signed Books!
Hey Everyone,
You've been so great sending us emails about the contest. I understand that there have been issues with the commenting and I'm hoping that it is cleared up. For all of you who sent emails with your inquiries and also with all your answers, but the comments weren't working, don't worry - you're still entered. :) I made sure we have everyone's entry so far in the master list.
For those of you who may be new to our blogs and have just seen our contest - I'll repost all the directions below. Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand :)
We just returned from another book trip and as we drove through Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Colorado - I couldn't help but think of the heart of America: its people, small towns, farms, and ranches. I'm sure there will be a post with my thoughts on this coming up.
But for right now, I hope you all enjoy the contest and tell all your friends!
God Bless!
