God placed a desire in me to create a blog just to write and share what He's doing and life lessons I have learned. To be quite honest, it has been in the back of my head for a few years now. Its 2011 and Im committing. I read a cool excerpt from my Bible today:
God is shaping us right now for future responsibilities. Maybe we can't see it, but doing the same dull chores day after day can shape us for an awesome purpose.
I was reading in Psalm about David, how he was just a shepherd boy and God made him a shepherd over all Israel. So all that time of field work (literally) paid off and he became King. God had awesome things planned for him but used everything David had learned along the way. Not that working in fields isn't cool, but Im sure being King was much better.
So just when you think you're tired of the redundant lifestyle, imagine what God wants to do with all you have gone through and what he could be preparing you for. But also know to be in step with God, is to be always willing to take the next step.
This year, I really hope to grow in my relationship with God and Im trusting that he will use my dull life for his great purpose. I hope you will too!
