Today is the Lord's Day. I put away thoughts of baking bread, buying a washing machine, prepping for work.....Just going to church...a sermon on Living a Life of Service. If you have been reading my blog this week, you will be doing a double take about now. I am working towards finding my "ministry" and Bro Jim preaches on wanting to serve, on being willing to serve...It was not a coincidence. God is so good. He is helping me think this thing through.....not hitting me over the head with a "lightbulb" moment, but letting me take inventory of whatever gifts and talents and interests and abilities I have that can be translated into a helping ministry.
After church, Hayden and Connor [grandsons] and I ate lunch and spent some time at Barnes and Noble. Precious, precious time. And the rains came. Rains of blessing, rains of love, rains of relaxation...oh, yeah, and rains of RAIN...and rain and rain and rain. Cool, autumn, soaking rain.
A change of season is here...in the South, in Alabama, in Tuscaloosa, in my house, and most importantly, in my heart. I am going to learn to be what I am even when I am living by myself....to be what I can be through the guidance of my Lord, the love of my family, the help of my dear, dear friends, and the sheer determination of myself.
So be it. I am going to be okay. I am.
