Most days I walk around my house half awake barely able to do the daily chores feeling like I can’t get enough sleep. Hungry for food that’s not in the fridge, wanting clothes that aren’t in my drawers. Looking in the mirror at somebody I never pictured being. I feel like there’s just no feeling content with the moment and my surroundings no matter where I’m at in life. I wish most days I was a better mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, lover, teacher and all the other many shoes I wear. I wondered what on earth will ever truly make me content with this blink of an eye life that I am living. I need a purpose, I need hope for a better tomorrow, I need a promise that the morning will bring a new day and the shadow of yesterday won’t be walking beside me. Then it hit me, I need alot more Jesus and a whole lot less of me in my life to understand the way of being content isn’t about being where you want to be it’s about being where he wants you to be in that moment! Weather it’s changing a diaper or saying “your beautiful” to myself in the mirror only because he finds me breath taking. My hope for a better tomorrow will always be my decision to say “yes” to God and “no” to a world of unhappiness and sadness. I find joy in hearing my son laugh, smile and watching him play. Just as Jesus finds joy in watching me laugh, smile and do the things that he put before me to enjoy! Even if my whole life all I do is touch or make a difference in one life my purpose is fulfilled. My calling is to be a messenger of Jesus, a person of great joy and incouragement no matter who is in the mirror. My identity is deeper than skin, deeper than my bones, it’s in the very most inner deepest part of my heart and soul. It’s where I pull the strength out to say “yes” again even if it means tears and walking away from the ways of the world. I want at the end of the road to hear “YES!” from God “you did well my faithful servant” I want to store my joy in eternity rather on my emotions of dispare or hopelessness that this world is sure to bring. I pray if anyone reads this you find that same “yes” for a greater tomorrow!
