So much for TJC–yesterday I wrote THC.  I’ll not bother with this trivia.  The title has always been and will continue to be–The Journey Continues.

Yesterday I wrote the things I’d be doing.  They were completed as far as doing them is concerned.  It was interesting to see that the step study had two new guys come for day one.  The newcomers luncheon where I was to speak had no one come.  Our quartet singing for the group in Meridian had a crowd and several came to talk with me afterwards.  All of the ones talking to me knew of situations of abuse but none of them talked of their own.  One of the guys in the quartet asked me if I saw the gal in the back who was crying the whole time I talked?  I told him that even though my eyes are open while I speak I don’t see anyone actually.  I’m so focused on the message and delivering it without breaking down myself, I don’t see the people.

This morning following my scripture reading I was journaling to God about yesterday.  I felt like all this effort went into the events of yesterday and so few came.  I asked if I was missing something or if I am doing something wrong?  God was quick to respond referencing me to Matthew 18:12-13.  It is there where Christ is telling the disciples about the 100 sheep with one being lost.  The shepherd leaves the flock to go find the lost one.  God told me I should rejoice with Him over the one-s who come rather than the crowd that shows.  This really strikes me.  I measure “worthwhile” too often by sheer numbers.  God measures worthwhile by changed lives for Him.  I truly want to remember this awakening today as I move forward.
