clanging cymbals

I am not very eloquent in speech so I debated if a blog was the smart thing. After all I don’t want to sound stupid to everyone! I read some blogs, listen to some people speak and think, wow they said exactly what I was thinking. Only when I try to say it, it comes out jumbled. I have often wondered why God would put me in the position I’m in and not give me eloquent speech, (okay forget eloquent, just to be able to communicate what I’m thinking without tripping over my own tongue would make life easier.) Why is it that i have so much rattling around in my head and yet i can't get it off my lips? Every time I get frustrated with my lack of communication skills (and they are lacking) I must remind myself, He is the one who has given me ALL I need for life and Godliness. Then i think about what Paul says: if I could speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not love I am just noise!( i played the cymbals, and they ARE annoying.) There is so much more in my life that is of greater importance, such as humbling myself, Loving, being selfless, doing everything without grumbling or complaining, praying continually, growing in the Grace and Knowledge of my savior, and so much more. So, I must focus on that which really matters, not on the things that would make me appear better or in my case sound better. I must decrease and He must increase! I don’t want to be just another clanging cymbal. And yet communication is so very important. so how does all of this fit together?

The Book is Open

This is Kami’s blog, but the first post is by Jack (her loving and ruggedly good looking husband), because she is computer illiterate. (Although she can get to Word just fine – at least that’s what she says).
This is the last you will hear from me outside of the comment section, and I hope that this will soon be deleted.
