Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

Skills

I've got a lot of great skills.  Unfortunately, they don't earn me a living.  And, some aren't even really related to one another.  But tonight I was thinking, "what if they really are?  What if God has a plan to take the things that I love and have a talent for and make it what I do?  Something that maybe I can't even give a title to right now."  Hmmm....it's quite a thought.  A good thought for sleeping on.  For praying on.  For seeking out.  I see possibility.  I'm not someone who will be famous.  Or even want to be.  But, it just seems like I have something to offer.  Something that maybe even I haven't totally discovered yet.
Yes, I have skills.  They are rather strange.  Rather silly perhaps.  But they are mine.  They are how I relate in my world.  I hope that I remember this idea.  That I actually find the thing that puts together the pieces of me into a beautiful picture.  My act of worship.  My service for my life.  To be totally me.  With thankfulness and delight.  Easier to talk about than to do.  But having the courage to think about it, to have the idea, is a huge step.
grace to you.
