Shabbat Shalom

Is shabbat not a delight? Should we not devote an entire day to YHWH to focus on His works and not fulfill our own desires? Is it not a good thing to rest? I was were you are/were as this is an old entry, and still struggle with it now, but as I began truly seeking YHWH (in converting from a decieved christian to a faithful follower of truth) I slowly began to realize the things I should and should not be doing on shabbat. It was still hard, and still is many a shabbat, but in all honesty, its not you or I who do anything, but the creator, all we have to do is surrender to him and let Him instill a passion within us, and lead us by the Ruach through scripture and prayer!

Hmm

Quite an encouraging post! Although at this point, I am doing possibly even worse then before. I'm just so involved with school, and being preoccupied with living in a motor home (what with not having the ability to practice my piano or drumset) that I'm obviously not making any time for YWHW. I'm hoping that if we can get into a home, and my wife can get work, then maybe it will be much easier to settle into doing things at least remotely correctly. It may not be right of me, but it certainly seems the easiest (and most rewarding) route. There are so many things that I'm not doing I feel like I'll never catch up with everyone else. The world is so focused on making it hard to take the feasts/Shabbats off if it doesn't coincide with their schedules. In fact, I was hired for work at LanceAir in Bend, OR, and they fired me before I had even began to work there because they couldn't allow me to take Friday night and Saturday off. I think I should have sued them, I'm not sure. That was when I was much more enthusiastic about Shabbat...

Re: Hmm

Be careful! Your not garunteed any future in YHWH! So how can you say, hopefully when I get into a home I can observe shabbat. (I'm not saying this is your situation, just a warning) What if your supposed to be choosing YHWH now over everything else? He will provide if you trust, and obey everything He's led you to. Isn't it worse for you if you know good and do it not? Don't worry about "catching up," well don't worry period! But do be concerned on practicing what YHWH has shown you to! You may never be on the same level as some people or go where they went, you may skip that step or go somewhere else! I say HalleluYah! that you did not get that job, YHWH was looking out for ya!
Have a good day!
