We have a goat - her name is Charlotte Goat #1 (long story). She has become very dear to us. And perhaps we have babied her too much. She came to us to be a supply of milk. Well just like all mammals, she must first have a baby to produce milk. This process has proven quite tricky. After coming to us "with goat", and miscarrying. Our only option was to find her a companion. Jehoshaphat Goat #2 came to live on the homestead. Charlotte was ticked, what was an old goat doing in her pen. She had no idea she was a goat! Well here we are two months later and still no baby in process. Charlotte is completely put out at the idea of living with an old goat. Jehoshaphat is tired of Charlotte not wanting to be a goat (if you know what I mean). So, here we are . . . still no milk, but a couple of hilarious old goats.
Did you ever think that maybe we loose perspective of who we are? God intended us to be a working part of the body of Christ, producing lots of fruit. Yet somehow, we got it all of whack. We spend our days scuffling with the very people we were intended to produce fruit with. And here we are inside the four walls of our church chasing each other; mad because the other is not acting like we think they should. So busy trying to be something we were not intended to be that no fruit is ever produced. What would happen if each of us let God take control and we became the part of the body of Christ He intended us to be? We would have so much fruit, the walls could hold them. Wait isn't that how it is supposed be . . .
