a couple days ago, i was in a big gym like place, sort of like green tennis at mu. there were a bunch of people being atheletic, and then i saw joelle. we agreed to get coffee, and to do so, we walked through what appaered to be a house. i may have seen my mother napping. we went to the starbucks which looked like the one at memorial, except the karasuno volleyball team was there too, as was lydia from swe, but i kinda ignored her. i sat near hinata and yamaguchi. suga was there looking cute, and daichi was too.

and then more recently, i dreamed about pseudo-mu, and there was a lot of dark stuff but it’s really vague coz im horrible at recording dreams immediately ;-;

Psalm 23, Pt. 8

Psalm 23:3 He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 

The Shepherd is not randomly heading off in some unspecified direction. He has picked specific paths to lead and guide his sheep along.  As the Shepherd, He goes before them on those paths. He knows the paths, what the terrain is like, what dangers are there, where the food and water is and He knows exactly where these paths lead too.  David once again takes the Shepherd of the sheep and makes him his own personal Shepherd when he says He guides “me”, not he guides the sheep or us. Once again I will say we each have to choose the Good Shepherd, we have to make Him our own Shepherd. This passage reminds me of John 10:3, where it says “The good Shepherd calls His own sheep by name and leads them out.”  It amazes me that God would know my name and desire to lead me along the paths of righteousness that are right for me. Do you realize that God knows your name and desires to lead you along these paths that are right for your life?   

So what is a path? A path is defined as a route, course or track which something moves, or a course of action, conduct or procedure according to dictionary.reference.com.  The Good Shepherd has specific paths for our lives to take that will bring us to good places, like the green pasture and cool waters.  The psalmist here tells us that the paths we are to be on are paths of righteousness.   Righteousness, a word we throw around a lot, but really; what is righteousness?

 I looked it up in an old Webster’s dictionary, The American Dictionary of English Language, Noah Webster 1828.  It defined righteousness as purity of heart and rectitude of life; conformity of heart and life to divine law.  It is nearly equivalent to holiness, comprehending holy principles and affections of heart and conformity of life to the divine law. It includes all we call justice, honesty, and virtue, with holy affection.  In my own language, it is a path that lines up with being right with God and God’s Word and will for my life.  Some of this path is specific to me and some is general to all my brothers and sisters.  For example, God desires for us all to be truthful and not lie, but He did not desire for all my sisters to marry my wonderful husband. My marriage is specific to me.  As I look at my life, I have to ask myself if ALL of my life is on the paths of righteousness, or do I have some paths that are not righteous in my life. 

We have all kinds of paths that our life is taking, that’s why David said paths not path.  We have educational paths, career paths, financial paths, marriage paths, religious paths and the list can go on.  Each of these paths can be righteous or not.  They can be conforming to God’s way or not.  We are free to choose.  The question relies on what we have chosen.  Are we willing to go along with the Shepherd, following where He leads or are we going to wander off the right path for another that might look inviting, but has unknown dangers?

I think what I find interesting here is He leads me along these specific paths for “His name sake”.  This is a reality check for me.  What I am doing and how I am doing it reflects not just on me, but on the one who is leading me.  What reflection am I giving?  There is a tee shirt out that says, “Be like the moon, Reflect the SON.”  Am I reflecting positively about my Good Shepherd?  Is my life and how I live it giving him glory?  Is it honoring His name?  Dose it reveal that I am one who is allowing the Good Shepherd to be my leader?

All for now off to do some contemplating.  Until next time may you be blessed as you follow the Good Shepherd.

The Sun

The article is just crap about Sara, blah, blah, blah. But I found this reporter, Mark Hudson, is trying to give Dan a run for his money on stupid 1D references.

I mean...” And while Harry was hoping They Don’t Know About Us, One Way Or Another we were going to look into Sara’s Story Of My Life and discover What Makes Her Beautiful is that she’s incredible good at wearing Little Things, namely bikinis and underwear.”
