Fellowship

Today was crazy!! (I feel like I have started a lot of my posts off this way so hopefully my days will slow down soon). My ladies at work kept me busy helping them buy cleaning supplies to clean their new place and getting paperwork squared away to return to school - all of these things I am GLAD to do and actually love doing as I watch the excitement on their face as they accomplish things.

I had a late start to the work day since we had Elizabeth's 1 year old checkup. I am happy to report that she is a healthy and petite little thing who was so mad at the nurse after she gave her 4 shots!! She recovered and had a great day at daycare.

When I finally got to work it was full speed ahead. I was running around and running behind when I looked at my watch and realized I was running late to lunch. I had a great lunch which really put me in the mood for the rest of the day.

Today I have been thinking about a few things but one theme: do you know when you are talking with someone if they are a Christian or not?? I have come in contact with several people today that I knew when they first began talking that they were a believer. It wasn't even what they said but how they said it. It made me begin thinking...when people first meet me, do they see that? Do nonbelievers see the same thing?? Do they leave wanting something different?

As I was rushing home today to complete all my daily chores so I could have my quiet time and study the Bible...I felt guilty. Why did I rush to further my relationship with God when I didn't take any time out of my day to further His word? Why keep it all to myself?

I think it is great to have these thoughts but I really need to start acting on it. God is putting all this on my heart but for some reason it still scares me to death! It was so easy to share my faith in a third world country on mission trips but it is quite possibly the scariest thing to think of bringing up to those close me.

God speaks to us everyday...are we listening?? Better yet...are we obeying??
