O is for Obedience

when i was growing up, one of the common activities we would have to do in school was to turn our name into an acrostic.

i would always say that the O in my name was for Obedience.

as i grew older, it became a lot less cool to be Obedient. i remember in my very first PBL tutorial, i decided that the O was going to represent an Orsome Olympic Orange. i was pretty much happy to mention anything other than obedience.

there is a song i remember singing as a child. it goes like this:

trust and obey
for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus
but to trust and obey

and now, i'm approaching full circle as i rediscover the worth of obedience.
