Seeking God's will

Do you ever doubt yourself? Your talents? Your lists? Do you even have time for some healthy navel-gazing questions, like:

Why am I here? (besides laundry...)

Who should I be talking to?

What should I be doing?

When should I start doing something else?

Is this life big enough? Filled enough? Directed enough?

Jean Shaw wrote: "The woman with limited abilities who assesses them in the light of godly counsel will be more prosperous than the multi-talented individual who runs in all directions, never seeking God's will."

Limited abilities - that's something we can relate to. But, we can seek God's will. He has first claim on any talents--they are from Him; He has first choice on any time (even before laundry)--He made time. And, His Word says: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength, with all your soul, and your neighbor as yourself." That's our bottom line; let Him fill in the blanks.

Give your day to God. He will answer all the above questions and more--like: what's for dinner? (I'll help you with that one  - Ceslie just passed on a yummy new chicken enchilada recipe with feta cheese - trying it out on our adopted college girls this week--can't wait!)

PS  Speaking of laundry, I decorated the dreaded black hole of a laundry room - so fun to walk in now - doesn't change the job, however...Pics to follow.
