Wow, what a weekend! I had a lot of fun and God opened my eyes to so many things. I won't have time today to post them all here but I hope to continue posting a lot of it on my smallmustardseed blog. One quick comment though...
We did a video series by Beth Moore and in part of it she spoke about spending our love on others. I got to thinking about this concept and what I am spending every day. I realize that I save so much of my time and energy for other reasons... I'm not even sure why! What is the point of living if you aren't spending your time? Time doesn't roll over like my minutes do :) Sure, we can try to conserve energy or sanity, but isn't the more faithful and trusting thing to do is spend all of ourselves on whatever God desires, truly believing that He is the one who replenishes us? I want to believe that! I cannot on my own, especially with 2 small, needy, draining boys!!
But honestly, I know in my head that my life will be of little worth by saving it for myself or for other selfish reasons. The only way my life will amount to anything significant is if I spend all of myself, time, energy and resources on furthering God's kingdom. Otherwise, I'll get to Heaven and everything I've done will burn away. I don't want to barely be saved... I want God to be excited that I am finally with Him in person.
