Name: Chad
Scripture: I Samuel 6-8; Galatians 1
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
OAP: The soap I wrote last night makes me sound like an elitist prick. I don't care. It was what I needed to think about and the way I did it was the best way for me. These aren't supposed to make sense to you. I know that by addressing the reader I am seemingly contradicting what I am saying, but I need to put it down in text. I wrote something last night and then I edited it. I was talking about modernism and post modernism and to me it made sense, but I thought that it sounded like I was throwing around terms for no constructive reason other than to prove I can distinguish between my modern and p modern thoughts. So I edited it to please you. So you would understand better what I meant.
God, I don't always act as if your approval is all that I want. It wasn't a big thing, but it was an act solely to allow them to understand, at the expense of that was what I was really trying to understand through those terms. I am sorry. Thankyou for making me aware of it. I want to serve you.

It is interesting - this whole blogging thing. It has a sense of privacy, and yet is published for the whole world. Chad what I see in you is your ability to be brutally true with yourself with God, and that openness leaks out with other people. I think that is okay??? I am struggling with the idea of being true to yourself with other people, and protecting your true self with other people. WWJD?
