Today was a busy day but a good one. The highlight of the day was going to hear Shelia Walsh speak to a womens group. I have heard her multiple times at Women of Fatih but today was a smaller group and she was as good as ever. I got several take-aways from her talk and the best one was: What do you have. She was talking about the miracle of the feeding of five thousand which appears in all of the Gospels. Jesus had simply asked them, "What do you have?"
In other words we are only expected to use what we have and leave the sufficiency to God. That is a freeing piece of information to anyone feeling like they have to do it all or make it all happen. Once we truly know God is capable and stands ready to abundantly do more than we can ask or think if we just present, start with, what we have it will free us to be ourselves and keep our life and resources and experiences laid out before him.
Lord, it is incredible to be able to offer what little we have to You to use as You see fit. I give you all of me today and ask as I am being 'transformed' You will be glorified. Amen
So the climb is getting exhausting so I pull up some ground and sit a spell. I loosen by boot laces and rest my head on my backpack. I gaze at the sky and wonder how God can provide for all of us at the same time. It is almost too much to wrap your head around. But I am grateful He does. I feel the exhaustion increasing so decide to take a nap. Sleep, sweet sleep, and then it will be time to head onward.
