I just want to be a sheep, baa, baa, baa, baa

Day 2 of Challenge (I promise not all will be tied together, or maybe they will, who am I to say what God will reveal to me or teach me daily..)

So we are reading this book as the "admin" of camp, together. The book, Scouting the Divine, by Margaret Feinberg, is about a lady who seeks the "organic" view of God. In this book, springing from her personal curiosity, she seeks a shepherd, a beekeeper, and a vintner (person who makes wine) and asks their opinions on certain passages of the Bible including these things and how they interpret it and how it changes the way we look at certain verses.. when the book was explained to me I was NOT excited about reading it, but as I have begun reading, I really, really like it, and really, really recommend it. Anywho, I am just starting the book, still in the first section, about the shepherd, when I came across a snippet, last night, that TOTALLY reinforced what my blog was about yesterday, funny how God works. I wanted to share that with you.

- When talking about how when "dumb" sheep can stray from the shepherd, they will not eat well and die, the shepherd in the book, Lynne, tells the author, "The sheep are literally dependent on their shepherd for their next mouthful." The author goes on to explain.. "Interestingly, when Jesus teaches his disciples to pray, he instructs them to ask God for DAILY bread, not yearly or lifelong bread---- a reminder that, like a shepherd, God leads us every step of the way."

All I thought after reading that was, Amen. Hello, if you didnt read the blog from yesterday, read it then come back to this one. I struggle with giving up control.. esp. about my future.

Once again God, thanks for that peice of daily bread. I will not hunger with servings like that everyday!!

Grace and Peace,
Seth
