COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Isaiah 46:9 ESV

Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me

Colossians 3:16 ESV

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Henri Nouwen claims that it is not so much events that shape our lives but the memories we have of those events.  As a psychologist, I believe that is true.  Two people can see the same event, yet perceive and remember it quite differently.  If we can learn to perceive events through God’s eyes (asking what God might be seeing or wanting us to see), then those events, whether happy or sad, will impact us in a different and more powerful way.  We will become better men because we are experiencing those events from a perspective where God is involved with us.  This will impact or memories in a fruitful way and help sew the very fabric of our lives.
