In my devotional time I get a little overwhelmed with the bigness of God and His worldview. I sometimes beging to think that I am not doing my part to reach the world for Christ. I am not lining up plane tickets to visit Uganda, or championing a city wide crusade to reach the lost...all very commendable and very enticing! But then, in reality, my prayertime comes to an end I hear the stirring of Lori (our special needs friend whom we have inherited of the Lord) and I know that her shower time is about to take place and I need to stay ahead of the game or we will have behavioral issues with which to deal. She is clinically diagnosed schizophrenic with terets,and mild retardation.
Then Heather, my youngest,homeschooled is a Senior in High school this year starts her routine and gets her day underway. Breakfast is made and lunch is packed and the day has begun...my world is pretty muched mapped out for me. Somehow I find fulfillment and contentment in carrying out these tasks because they bring my life purpose and meaning.
I have laundery to do, supper to plan, guitar lessons to attend. Dental appointments to sit through (with Lori). Youth activities to plan, and friends to invite over after church.
None of which would be possible without the Leadership of the Holy Spirit and my Husband.
some days are more challenging than others, and schedules can and do get complicated, but all-in-all, this is the World the Lord has called me to love in His power and wisdom!
