I've been thinking about how mundane life can get...the same routine over and over again...how do we get a glimpse of our purpose on this earth? Maybe it's because I have been home since the arrival of our son back in April. I used to work and was involved with different people everyday. It was an extremely busy and fast-paced enviroment dealing with the handicapped and disabled. I worked to provide services for them in their homes- I trained the caregivers to care for them. It seemed like I was running every day. It's not that I am not busy at home- I am up early to try and start my day before our son wakes up. I try to shower, make the bed, and have a quiet time. I am quite fortunate that he doesn't get up until 10:00 a.m. on most days. But, if I don't do everything in an efficient manner, there goes my day. I also do medical transcription every day and that keeps me busy in the afternoons, hopefully I can do it around his naps most days, but again, if he is having a bad day or I have an unexpected visitor, etcetera then the rest of the afternoon is touch and go and dinner may not end up on the table as planned. I love being home and I love caring for my home although sometimes doing the same thing for the hundrendth time can get a little maddening...but overall I am content being a wife and mother, it is what I have always wanted to do and I am blessed that I get to have the opportunity. We do not have a lot of money, but then again, I am reminded that we have more money than the majority of the world. I will count my blessings, for I truly have many!
Life can be so mundane- as much as I like routine, that routine can be a noose around my neck at times. Sometimes I would like if God would direct me into something exciting, something that I just know is from Him and serves Him in a way that is so fulfilling that it is self-perpetuating...But, even the most exciting "call" would produce the same feelings at times- it too would become routine and therefore become mundane...
How do we keep excitement in our day to day life? The breath of the Holy Spirit blowing over us, through us, and in the midst of us. Wherever the power of the Holy Spirit is at work, we are gauranteed to not have a dull life. He is full of adventure. Full of life, abundant life actually. "Seek first the kingdom of God and all of these things will be added unto you." "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future." "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall (will) direct your paths." Lord, come. I need Your spirit to blow over me today. Daddy show me just how much You love me. Fill me to overflowing with the power of Your Holy Spirit, and pour Your love in me that it would flow through me like an ever gushing fountain.
