What a week I have had! I am mentally and totally exhausted. Vacation Bible School was so awesome. The kids had a great time and I have never seen "This little light of Mine" actually be done so well. It was great! I do not know what I was thinking having kids camp one weekend followed by VBS the next one. I may rethink that for next year. There were also plenty of personal struggles throughout both weeks, but I have and will continue to overcome them. There are many people in my life that are in emotional pain, there are many people in my life including me that are in physical pain. However God is with us. ALL THE TIME (we actually learned that at VBS) God protects us emotionally and physically, sometimes it is the one person that he sends into our lives that make a difference. They seem to show up in the knick of time. Sometimes at just the last second. I truly hope that you have those people in your life, the ones that God sends you to help you through that moment. Sometimes a joked about box of donuts that magically shows up really makes a huge difference. Sometimes it is telling two elderly men at a nursing home who are outside chillin that the Cowboy game starts in 30 minutes and watching the excitement on their face, makes you smile. Life is made up of little moments, some we savor, some we regret, some we wished never happened. God is everywhere, take the time to find him in your everyday. Some people believe that the world is random. The world is anything but random. Take a good look around tomorrow and find God in that child's smile at the store, find God in the child that is giving you trouble, Seek out the best in people and they will find it in you. I was told today by someone that they just don't get me. They never know if I am serious or kidding. (yes I am that good) I have thought about that today and well I don't know what to tell them. Honestly I dont'. They must take the time to get to know me. Outward appearences have nothing to do with what is inside. God knows what is inside and that is what everyone should look for.
Go and seek out your creator. You are not just an after effect of the 'Big Bang". (side note on that, One of my favorite shows is The Big Bang Theory, but heck it is hysterical so dont take it wrong. lol. )
You were made by the hands of God and so was everyone else. Treat them as you want to be treated, how is it that we all know the golden rule and most of us don't follow it. I am guilty of not following it on occasion. We must also remember that we are given new mercies everyday, every single day.
I will run errands tomorrow and do the normal tasks of life.
But Sunday I will start my week with my God at his house and I will serve his kids! Who could turn that down. I can't. Kids are awesome and should be treated as so. yes they make mistakes, so do I. Yes they interrupt the lesson. (i did at camp, i am totally embarrased by that) yes they get upset with the wrong flavor ring pop, heck i didnt get one. :( They say and do crazy things. they can get on my nerves (i do that to people as well) Each one is unique and each one is God's. He placed each child on this earth to be a blessing to others, that child is our future. What do we want our future to look like. We have the responsibility to shape it. I take that challange head on and pray to our God that I do it right, that everything I do lines up with what God wants for that child. They will get older and they may or may not remember me or my name, but that is not important. The only name I want them to remember is the name of God, no matter how it gets in there, it is the name I want them to remember. I want to plant seeds that grow, seeds that are productive.
How will you start your week on Sunday?
