Sometimes people ask, "what is your job or responsibility there in Haiti?"
You know, as I was struggling the other day, feeling like what do I really do? I was again reminded that every time I answer the door with a smile, (again) answer another question, or fetch keys for someone else, I am doing something important.
Why do we think that its great and big things that matter most??
I am thankful for the gentleness of Jesus, in reminding me that even tho I may "only " cook lots of food, host lots of visitors (which I love todo, btw) or answer the door for the 5th time in a morning, that when I do it FOR HIM I am doing something important.
I want to be faithful in little everyday things. I am mostly doing here what you do there.Normal things like being a mom, cooking, cleaning, reading stories, assisting with homework, rinse and repeat.
I am honored to do this. I am blessed. And I choose to joy in the mundane. These moments turn to hours, and the hours into days. I want to make the most of every one.
Blessings to each of you, wherever you are, in whatever He has called you to. BE FAITHFUL!
Good reminder....was just thinking about this this morning. I want to be building God's kingdom, but it's done in a lot of different, small ways. Love you
