I can't believe it's 2014 and just reading my last post of 2013 and writing about " at least having posted". I wrote as though I had been able to check off a box of my long, long list of things to do. Not a coincidence that my mom just called; there's a whole list of it's own relating to my mom and things I'd like to do for/with her.
All of the things on Nov 13th's post are still on my list.
Now I will tell you my deepest secret. Every time I think about "what I'm going to do with the rest of my life" I come up with a internal battle. Do I want to make money or serve the Lord? I know that sounds like such a stupid question. For the non-believer it's a no brainer- Make money of course. For the believer, which I'd prefer to call myself, it's also a no-brainer- Serve the Lord. He says; serve me, and I'll take care of the rest! I do believe that and so keep trying to fly on my own strength (a big no-no, and satan's work) and just get stymied.
Patience is another big word with our Lord. Look how long Moses waited! I do pray for the Lord's will for my life while keeping a little of my own in my back pockets. The same was true with vices and still is with smoking.
Ok Lord; I'm praying for wisdom, humility, grace and your will for me!
