So I realized the other day that I have not really written much on this blog since returning from Mexico. We all know it can't be because I have nothing to say, cause when does that ever happen, right? So I started looking at my life and realized yet again how crazy and chaotic my daily life is. Normal life is busy enough, but recently I have had new oppoortunities that have upped the schedule.
- I am now a graduate student at Moody Bible Institute, so that is sucking up a lot of time. Who knew you could spend so many hours trying to figure out one verse in the bible? I am pursing a degree in biblical studies so that I can teach the bible more effectively. It really has been awesome and I am loving class, but it is definitely taking a toll on my time.
- I am getting ready to take a team to Ireland in June and preparing messages for a ladies retreat that I get to speak at over there.
- I have been asked to speak at Marine City High School on what it means to live without so I am excited about that opporunity to remind teenagers about how blessed we really are.
- I recently led worship for our Ladies Day Away, which was totally awesome.
Now you might be wondering why I am spending time telling you all about my very full, busy life. It is not to tell you how awesome I am because I am soooooo busy. It really is my way of reminding myself that all of the craziness that goes on in my life is only important if I am using it to minister to people.
This brings me to the new widget part of the title. I have added a new widget to the left side of my blog. It is titled 150,000 people will die today. When I found this widget I felt overwhelmed by the reality of that truth. The counter just keeps going. The question is what am I doing about reaching some of those 150,000 people?
So when I am tempted to get frustrated about my busy, crazy, sometimes overwhelming life...I just need to remember that it is all worth it if it is making a difference in the lives of those around me for eternity.
