Here in the activities of everyday life, I often get overwhelmed. As the saying goes, "So much to do - so little time." But, what is it that I actually want to be doing in the midst of my life? I'm not really certain.
Somedays I feel completely confident that I am fulfilling my life's call. Other days, I feel completely incompetent to attempt anything that comes my way.
There are times when I am so overwhelmed by attending to the needs of others, that I I neglect my own needs. And yet, there are also times when I am so selfish, that I only do what I want to do.
Most importantly, I ask the question, "Why does God have me here at this point in life?" I know it is really unimportant and somewhat impossible to know the exact answer to that question. But, it still begs to be asked. And I feel like I have been asking myself that question on a daily basis. I don't always understand what is happening around me. I don't always agree with what I'm being asked to do. And I don't always like what is going on with me. But I do rest in the complete and full knowledge that God knows the answer to the question. My job is to "be still and know that He is God." I've been called to walk with The One on a journey in which I have given Him permission to lead. I am to draw close to Him and listen to His voice. I know I'm not listening for the ultimate answer, but I am listening so that I am in step with Him. While I might want to run at times (away from the madness of life), I don't ever want to turn away so as not to hear His voice. His direction gives me comfort in the midst of my life.
In the midst of your life, where does God have you?
