Living Out Christ
I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to live a life totally dedicated to Christ. And I think in many ways I've got it wrong. I get so concerned about "doing, doing, doing" that I forget the one needful thing--to sit at the feet of Christ. It's so much easier to be a Martha than a Mary. It's good to be involved, it's good to help. I love being involved in ministry...it's who I am. But I have to remember that ministry takes different forms. I can be "in ministry" no matter where I am and what I'm doing. In fact, I am commanded to be a light of the gospel whether I am in California or Uganda. I have to remember, God's calling for my life may be different than I've always thought. I just want to be faithful. Faithful to the gifts the Lord has given me and the desires he has put in my heart.

Good to think this through. Thinking through Ps. 46:10: Be still and know that I am God. If I am not still, I will miss that knowing.
Oh, Janea!! This is something I've been thinking a lot about, about where and how to serve, and maybe what doesn't look like service to others really is. I've often thought that what just looks like a big, goofy party is really my way of serving-my way of showing hospitality and teaching younger women how to love their husbands and manage their homes and friendships. I could go on . . . but it is our hearts that God wants, no matter how that looks to others.
