I remember as a little girl growing up, I wanted the perfect job, sweet husband that adored me and did whatever I said, 2.5 kids, a great house decorated perfectly, an awesome car. a BFF that went to lunch with me every week, the perfect yearly beach vacation, and a hobby I could enjoy as an escape from my perfect American dream ( BTW none of these things are bad at all and typically what a lot of us women want if we are candid) But as I examine my life tonight I realize the part I left out of my own dream... Being on mission for God as a family. There are times I just cant have it all. Times I have to focus on mission instead of the things that I want. Times when safety and security and control and happiness just cant be achieved at the same time that I live full out passion for Gods Work. And thats when I have to remind myself of Scotts illustration of the rope. Remembering that this whole life is only one little section of that huge rope and that eternity lasts so much longer. I have to remember that eternity is the great equalizer and that it really does matter to live out our fire for God now because we only get one chance here to do it. That it cant be easy, safe, non upsetting, secure, and happy all the time. And thats ok cause thats when Im brought closest to my Father. And thats a real joyful dream... Living in close relationship with the Father on a full out mission for Him each day of my little American life. Lord, your ways are greater than my ways... Help me to understand.
