Sometimes my mind blows up with lists of all the things I need to accomplish...getting ready for kids camp, starting papers, taking tests, visa applications, airplane tickets, etc.---even though the list of "plans" has been metaphorically thrown away....the to-do list carries on....
In the midst of this, I took a few minutes to read a few blogs and find some new ones to follow...(thanks to Angie Fogg who introduced me to kisses from katie..I'm now hooked too!)
As I began to read blogs from people I don't know who are accomplishing such amazing things for the Kingdom...my heart was so overjoyed...they are in the exact place that the Lord has called them..I wonder if they know what an impact they are making....
and then it hit me--why do I allow myself to get overwhelmed with the things of this world, instead of laying them moment by moment at the throne of my Father? He knows this story far better than I...
I want to do more....I want to make a difference...these were my thoughts as I read through these blogs....but then I realized---all of those statements center around me and what I want....and this life shouldn't be about me..
So now I am striving to simply pray that God would allow me to follow his road...no matter where it takes me and that I would be content with simply walking step by step on the path He has ordained for me...
