Completely and totally stuck.
Galatians 6:4-5
Make a careful exploration of who you are and work you have been given and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.
Eeek!
Goodness, do you realize what this means?!? I am what I am... right now. I am a wife. I am a mom of 4 little kids. I am in charge of the house and the meals and the laundry... I bake the bread for our gathering on Sunday and make cookies and hold babies once a month...
That is who I am...
"Sink yourself into that."
I am noticing (just now) that it does not read... "resist that..." "push past that..." "find something more interesting to do..."
"Sink yourself into that."
If I sink myself into those few things that God has put me in charge of... maybe I'll actually succeed... Maybe I'll make Him proud... Maybe he will be glorified in part because of my life in Him...
Father help me to have a good attitude and be hardworking with what you've put me in charge of... Help me to live creatively as an expression of YOU! Amen.
