My mind is blank. I struggle sometimes with this blog because when I have a non-eventful day and I sit and think about where God was in the day or where I might have been God’s servant and I don’t come up with anything of great significance I begin to wonder if this is what it really feels like to realize maybe I missed the mark completely?? 😉
But that isn’t so. Not really. I washed my kids clothes, made their lunch, went to the store so that they would have food to nourish their bodies. I went on what felt like a thousand errands so that I could get this n that to keep the house running smoothly – things like getting filters replaced, etc. An hour of my life was spent on the phone and on hold with Center Point energy for the 4th time in order to try and finally talk to a supervisor to clear up their mistake.
God didn’t come down from heaven in majestic regal glory to deliver my bills stamped PAID IN FULL on a gold platter nor did He gather legions of angels together equipped with dusters, mops and a vacuum to clean my house (along with an interior decorator to get it looking just right).
BUT I did get the honor of being asked by a young woman, whom I’ve had the privilege to minister to throughout her high school and college years, ask me to be a reader in her wedding. In many ways that’s God’s subtle way of saying ‘thank you‘ for the late night hours spent listening to boyfriend issues, etc. 😉
AND I got to see my kids smiles light up their faces when I picked them up from school and hear the excitement in their voices as we talked about our beach plans for the weekend. That is God’s way of saying ‘this is my gift to you.’
Even though it can be time consuming to keep up with this project daily I will say it is quite liberating to magnify the day and recognize that their isn’t one moment that I am alone. God is so in love with me He follows me everywhere I go! 🙂
Thankfully I’m not jealous because He loves YOU the same! (It might sound cheesy if you can’t accept it, but it IS true, so try.)
Blessings
