I have chosen to spend some time in silence today, to connect with God and to be with myself. It feels good. It feels loving. I want to practice today continually asking God what his will is for me now.
Right now I am receiving the message that taking a shower, cleaning the kitchen and making meatballs is how he wants me to take care of myself. Rather than those being dreaded and boring tasks, they become ways of saying, "Laine, you are important to me." Hmm. That is a new way to think about it. I can do the same when it comes to picking out clothes for work tomorrow or sitting down to look at finances. For now, I look forward to getting out of bed. I look forward to taking care of myself - in all of my affairs.
God - Help me to choose your will. I can trust in so doing, that you will provide the time to accomplish all that is important. If your will is for me to write, than I needn't make it happen. You will give me the opportunity to do so. I am glad that trusting in you and doing your will doesn't mean that something is sacrificed. As I allow your will be become mine, the less I experience deprivation. Thank you for transforming my life from one of self-sacrifice into one of abundance.
