Wednesdays are busy for me. I usually have a run to get in, paddling, and then my Bible study which I absolutely love!! And today was especially frustrating because we had to scramble for a ride and everything just happened a lot faster and more rushed than I like it. So needless to say, I needed a good dose of re-focusing.
We normally paddle at 5, but today we didn’t get out till about 5:30pm which meant that we got to watch the sunset. This is something that I don’t normally get to do because we are normally eating, but tonight the sunset was especially amazing. The sky was purple, pink, blue, and orange..it was BEAUTIFUL! I have never seen anything like it. As I was paddling, looking at the ocean and the sunset it just hit me.. I have spent all week frustrated about little things. It just seemed like everything and everyone put on their “Drive Amanda Crazy Pants” and got under my skin. But all day, God has reminded me that I am small. I am a tiny speck that He loves and is crazy about! And He has a perfect plan for my life..but beyond that, He has called me to love, to be selfless, to give, and to be here.
So tonight I just decided I am going to give this week to God and love and give and trust that He will work out the rest. My purpose is to glorify God in all that I do and to serve Him by serving and loving those He has placed around me. Which is not going to be easy, but I am always up for a challenge. It also means I need to spend a lot more time praying and spending time with God.
