so this week our church is studying servanthood and how to practically live out a life of a servant…yesterday in my prayer journal i asked God to show me opportunities around me where i could be servant to others…there were a couple small things that i saw and was able to do…of course with no reaction and no real cost to me…
then last night i was mowing the yard and felt prompted to just mow the neighbor’s yard too…but my mind just started to come up with all the reasons why not to…he’s a truck driver and sits all day long, all week long, and i’m sure he enjoys being able to walk…we don’t really know him all that well and he may get upset if i do that…the weather has been great and he gets home tomorrow…i really don’t have the time to do it and i need to spend time playing with molly before the night is over… you get the point!
as soon as i put the blower, weeeeeed eater, and the mower in the shed…the guilt trip began! then this morning i go to leave and have the sunroof open…it started to rain…now it’s been pouring down rain, not to mention the thunder and lightning…and the weather report says 50% chance of rain for tomorrow…
why didn’t i just mow the yard??? why didn’t i just follow the prompting???
so frustrating…
now i’m just trying to focus on being sensitive to the Lord’s leading today and OBEDIENT!!!
