This summer I thought I would get a sneak peak of God's to do list for tricia, yet that didn't happen. Instead I was taught to do lists are not what Jesus has for me. Life isn't about doing this, this and then that and we are going to be good. Its about daily, even hourly, seeking out opportunities to show God's love to a broken and hurting world. To be in a constant praise of our Heavenly father that gave everything, while we still turned away.
I look toward the future and what it holds for me and I just make a guess when people ask me what I'm going to do. I have a few ideas, but in all honesty all I see is God's love and grace ahead of me, nothing else. I know God has a plan, I just need to wait on Him and see what He has in store. While in this waiting stage though, I can't just set on my butt and be like la de da and just wait for Jesus to show up. I still need to be a willing vessel for God's spirit to flow through me everyday. Willing to give up my wants, desires and comforts and to make a daily turn toward my savior. Willing to be willing. So many times I'm like ok I need to do this, but I am never willing to go through with it. Or if I do, it's not with the greatest attitude, so my efforts I'm barely doing our pointless.
Good Intentions. A Joyful Heart. Genuine Love. Sacrifices. Vulnerability. These are a few things that I've learned this summer. And by learned, I mean things I've seen the beauty of and need to continue to learn. Learning about love one week doesn't mean I've mastered it, because I am no where close to willing to give my life in order to save a broken world.
