Yesterday and today have been filled with more knitting time. As I knit, I think, and all this thinking is a good thing. I know I'm spread too thin. And I know I try too hard to make everyone happy. My husband says "I'm only one man", and the truth is that I'm only one woman. I'm a lot of things to a lot of people, but I'm still just one. "I can do everything through him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13 really appears to be my life verse. I hope in all this doing, I'm not missing out on the relationships I should be building - especially my relationship with Christ. Our campus pastor Chris spoke today about God hating religion, and it really got me thinking - I am involved in multiple ministries, but am I missing out on my relationship with Christ? Is all this running around and serving taking me away from my genuine quiet time with him?
It's a lot to think about. One of my goals is to 'live out loud' - just be me and the best me I can be. It sounds like a simple goal, but I've found it's not so simple. There are so many outside influences that push me into a box (different boxes in different situations, but a box none the less). I pray that one day I can let go of all those outside influences and just hear God telling me how to best be me.
