Sometimes I get selfish and dont want to do something that I know God is calling me to do. Like today. Too busy, didnt want to go to the meeting, was kind of hoping it would get canceled, was thinking about bailing out, getting stressed over everything going on at work and home, just had too much to do. Ended up going, knew my hubby knew I wasnt feeling it, but wow when I got there and listened to Jim Gibson talk about Strong Foundation, well I was pretty humbled to say the least and feeling very blessed that I had gone. Listening to how they started the Strong Foundation, hearing their vision, touring the shelters, seeing some of the homeless families living there and how they serve them, watching some of the little children and just aching thinking about their situations....that just really spoke to me. We ended up staying quite a while and wow did I learn alot. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by all the hurting that goes on in this world, not just within my own circle of family and friends, but in these neighborhoods and in this city. It is downright depressing sometimes, but I know He is trying to lead me and I am trying to listen even when my flesh and selfish self are trying to do otherwise. So keep nudging me God and I will keep moving forward toward You. One thing I can say is that I am getting better at not listening to the selfish side. So glad I went.
