This sumer has been wild yet mundane. I have felt at times like dancing then like crying I have been bored, frustrated with the work (or my part of the work) here. Yet know this is where God has us for this season. Today I was reading a book about different kinds of prayer. The chapter for today is Praying the Ordinary. I was again reminded how God finds glory in whatever we do whether its cleaning toilets (man Have I done a lot of that!) or painting a beautiful picture. Whatever I am doing I need to do it for HIS glory. He cares about the small things. To you younger ladies he cares about all the dishes and clothes that need to be washed and the dirty diapers, snotty noses. Just do it for his glory! Bless you children! your Husband or whatever you are doing throughout the day find joy in the small menial things. I needed a reminder to find God in the ordinary, I need to repent for not looking or thinking at times that God loves us no matter what my lifework is. I know to that you cannot separate work and ministry. We all have a job and we all have a ministry. God is faithful he has our best intrest in mind!
The picture is an ordinary job that was a good change for me........I would much rather be outside than in.
