Life, God, Church, Business, Family, Baby. Each are beckoning to me to reach out and be more than I have been, am. I feel so stretched, blessed, stressed, and enriched by so much. The question I have is "You want me to do what?"

Life, I find myself reflecting to often to how I should be acting, treating others and especially my attitudes. When I think of what God has been teaching me lately I feel so overwelmed. I feel like I will never be able to meet all the standards. But....I keep this in mind, God is in control and even in my mistakes He recieves glory and His can never be stopped by what I do......or don't do.

God, the ever present loving Lord that never has given up on me. When I am selfish and thinking only of my gain He gently taps on my shoulder and says "Sarah, come back to me and live in my name" I say "What do you want me to do?" He says "Love those that you are angry with" I say "You want me to do what?" He once again says "Love". I strive to do so and oh what a blessing and a lot of self-control and hard work!

Church, service, leadership. All these are words I have used my whole life but only now am I understanding what they mean and how they apply to my life. I don't always feel like being at church at 7:30am Sunday morning but lets look at it this way. There are Christians walking miles to spend hours at church. I have 1 mile to drive and I have no room to complain. So, when my beloved music director tells me what time he wants my family at church on Easter I say "You want me to do what?" but then I will think to myself, the sacrifice is worth it, Christ is worth it because of what He sacrificed for me.

Business, the word in itself meant nothing to me until a few weeks ago. Its amazing how one meeting can change how you see the world around you. Yes, I am starting my own business and am taking it very seriously. I pray that God will bless it and will use me to be a light through it. Ya know, it was when the thought popped into my head to possibly start a business I said to myself "You want me to do what?" Life is funny, isn't it?

Family, I love it but sometimes it can be hard. As a wife I don't always know what the best way is to handle situations, even though I love my husband to death. Ya know, when I want something to be just so, yet the Bible says to me"Be still" or "to wait upon the Lord" that is when I say "You want me to do what?" Not easy for me to wait but even recently waiting has paid off as I have seen God working in my marriage and in my husband's life. God is good that way!

Baby, I love him and I love them! James challenges me to be the best I can be and I am so thankful for him. When I am having a rough day all it takes is one small or huge smile from this little guy and I have been blessed once more. Wanna know a secret.........I would love to have another one as soon as God allows. I am sure that you are now the one saying "You want to do what?"
