Encouraging Joy & Grace

What I Know For Sure

I found a new song yesterday which describes me perfectly.  Maybe you can relate.  It's called Second Guess Girl.  Its all about trying to figure out what to do in a messed up and beautiful world.  Some of the lyrics mirror my heart. 

Is it time for a speech or for silence
Are you calling for peace or defiance
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
Are we all perpetrators or victims?

It’s a hard world for a second guess girl
With one hand and another
I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning
Trying to love my sister and brother

Is this confidence born of a calling
Is this ego and pride before falling
Are we standing to fight for what’s right
Are we angry and hopelessly blind?

I take in a lot of other people's opinions in books and blogs and sermons and conversations over coffee.  I  watch opposing views from people I trust on both sides of many debates pass by quickly on my twitter and Facebook page. I can get rilled up and ready to march with the best of them.  Or sometimes I preach a gospel of peace. To fight or to reconcile?  

Sometimes I second guess Quirky Faith and the platform mentality. I wonder if this blog is about preaching the truth or getting attention for myself?  I've been down that road often enough I know its both and the goal is always to kill the self and glorify God. Easier said than done. And yet we're called to shine a light and be ready with an answer. 

See what I mean?  Second guess girl. 

If you're tracking with me can I suggest an exercise in sanity and stability.  In classic Mindy fashion I'm talking about making a list.  Of what I know for sure. 

1.  There is a Creator. He loves me. He loves you too. 
2.   I don't want to do life without Jesus. Ever.
3.  The Bible contains words of life. Every second in the book is a good idea. 
4.   Work is honorable.  But there is no greater joy than helping someone. 
5.  Art and music and food and friends matter. 
6.  My parents rock. 
7.  I want to grow old with my spouse at my side. He's my guy.  Steadfast heart. 
8.   If my children learn to love Jesus then my life is a success.  They are my most important priority.
9.   I'd step in front of an angry bear to protect my little sister.  She'd do the same for me.
10. Having a voice is important.  Knowing when to shut up is more impressive. 

I don't know a lot of things. I second guess my methods and my opinions and my time. But when I see clearly what I know for sure it helps keep the roller coaster in line. I second guess frequently - but I'm overwhelmingly grateful for the solid truths in my life.  

What do you know for sure?
