CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL


   

You were like sheep who were wandering away. But now you have returned to the Shepherd. He is the Leader of your souls.  (I PETER 2:25 NIRV)
The leader of my soul. What is my soul and where does it start and end? That which makes me me. I like to think of that place that I go when things get confusing, painful and sometimes just right after some really good news. That place that I think is only mine. This place is where I like to think I stand eye to eye with my creator. I go to this place to relax and wind down. Out of this place comes my reactions to life. I love and hate this place but the most important thing is that this place has a leader and its not me. I just keep the place as clean as I can. How wonderful it is to understand that I really can give up ownership of this place knowing that its best for all.
My life has been full of responsibilities. My new duties as a father , missionary and house parent bring responsibilities that I cannot bear alone. Its nice to know that I have  been given a community that will guide me through the process. Best of all I have the person of CHRIST who is the Captain of my soul.
