Yesterday I re-registered my car. I've only had my car for a short while, however, it only came with about a month or less left on it's registration (better than nothing I guess). To be precise, it's registration expired on the 29th of October.
29th = same day of the month as my dating anniversaries,
29th = same day as I started this blog up with purpose.
I decided prior to going to the post office to re-register that I would only get 6 months of registration - simply because that would be relatively affordable. From there, however, I did not plan a thing... I just went to the post office. It was only when I walked through the door that I thought, hmm I wonder if I'm supposed to supply some paper work?
Even with this question in my head, I decided to press on. What could be the worst response to me asking what I needed to have prepared to re-register my car?
Well, in fact, they just gave me a form to fill out right there and then. The hardest question being what my registration number was (I took two attempts to answer it correctly). But it was so SIMPLE.
Right now, I'm going to do something even SIMPLER I believe. I've decided while I'm in the mood, that I should also re-register my life, my thoughts, decisions and actions to God once again.
I thank the Lord increasingly much, as He helped me through a month - it has been a successful time, and I've been able to see the change in my attitudes towards life as He honoured my commitments made clear on this blog.
Lord right now I want to recommit/re-register these commitments so that I don't get complacent, so that You will be right by my side for another month ahead. As my friends and I celebrate the end of a study year and the end of study altogether. We will celebrate new employments. Megan and I will be celebrating a whole year of commitment to each other. A lot of exciting things will be happening this month, and that's why I pray that You will be my guide that keeps me on the straight and narrow, withdrawing me from self-righteous and misguided folly.
I want to thank You, that unlike a car registration, you will accept my repentance freely and without new sacrifice. It's astounding that the most important and fulfilling aspect of life - our connection with God through the Spirit - has been accounted for without any of my own doing. I think it's so awesome to have a car, and that I worked for, and I continually going to be paying for. But Jesus' grace payed for my whole life in one go. Thank You Jesus.
Amen
Amen.
