Pastor Cook has been a guest speaker at Bryan's chapel last night and this morning. He also will be speaking tonight in about twenty minutes. He said something last night that struck a chord with me: "sanctified disatisfaction".
And what that mean is - as we grow in Christ, as He sanctifies us, we should not be satisfied with what we have gained spiritually but rather we should be disatisfied with other parts of us that need growth, renewal or cleansing.
Instead of settling for one improvement and thinking that we're complete for a while we need to realize that there's always something that needs to be cleaned by God. We allow ourselves to be satisfied way to easily!

Something I've prayed off and on for the past few months has been: "Don't allow me to settle." I hope this wasn;t too far fetched - but it seemed to fit in somehow.
Promise... I've been telling people about the page; they just haven't made it to yours yet because they have no idea just how good it actually is!
so its true, Teresa has been telling people about this, well at least shes told me so i assume others too but i could never leave a comment because i had to have an account or something[your site must be top secret, i didn't have to have an account to leave one on teresa's;)] so i have been reading your post just haven't let comments but alas i got an account, its not as hard as i was making it...tehe, i seem to do that with computers, make things harder than they actually are:)but anyway, the reason i am leaving this is not to talk about how illiterate i am on computers, actually i just wanted to let you know that i've enjoyed the blogs, so very encouraging and a lot of times challenging, which is good, i need that:) thanks!!!! keep being His obedient follower:)
