Direct My Steps

Okay girlfriends, I get it! Time is not my own. I will be working full time hours this week for the doctor. I love it but I miss you.

This morning I woke up and had a mini conversation with God. I repented for my lack of quiet time with Him. So today, as I have on many days, I asked God to direct my steps. He reminded me that for the directions to be effective I must be obedient. Don't you cringe when you hear the word "obey"? I do.

So when the call came to work a full day today, I cheerfully said "Yes, I would love to." The truth is I love it at the office, but to spend some time at home today would have been lovely. I must say that the Lord quickly reminded me He was directing my steps and to be the receptionist today would be to bring a smile to someone in need and maybe some joy or encouragement to the sick and/or emotionally needed.

I wanted to "talk back" to the Lord (imagine that) and say "but what about me?" yet I remembered that God has a story He is creating with my life. He wants others to know Him through my experiences. How I handle my day today and everyday is forming a chapter/ a page in my story - "My life with Jesus". He has purposes I cannot imagine considering the craziness and emotional roller coasters I ride on. Last night I heard a speaker named David Ring. He had a message that tore my heart and shattered my selfish life into pieces. I have no idea if I can ever complain about the inconvenience of going to church, serving God or doing for others again...ok I probably can but I don't think I ever will without thinking of the service and love in the life of David Ring with cerebral palsy.

I have to go ladies but please know I love you and look forward to sharing again with you soon. For now I am off to get dressed, complete with a Jesus smile!
