We recently have been going through a series of teachings Sunday mornings entitled "imprint" which have spurred much thinking. I really do want my life to make an impression on those around me and I often find myself struggling to make that a reality. As I sat and listened to the core values of our community being presented again...it hit me. It is not my job to make an impression. It is my job to have my values in line so that He can make the impression. That takes so much of the pressure off. Okay, it doesn't take all the pressure off. But it does help.
I find myself getting my values mixed up so easily without even realizing it. I cry out over having to purge my life of stuff...but what do I want to value more - things or souls. Even more, what example do I want to give the kids.
My pr@yer for today is for Him to help me get my values in order.
So those are my musings of the day. I need to stop making it all about me and make it all about having Him in the right place in my life. (Hey that almost could be a song.)
For the record, our Sunday morning community is going to be one of the things we miss the most as we move away from Lansing.
