To Be Great...

Right before Evan layed down for his nap I happened upon this blog of a girl that was in my CBS group in Dothan. I only attended about half the time because of the germ-a-phobia I had with the nursery where Evan had to stay. I did not get to know very many of the women in my group...but this girls blog blew me away...if only I could have stayed a little longer. So she inspired some thoughts...



As I was cleaning the bathroom this afternoon I was thinking about how I would love to be GREAT at many things in my short life here on earth. As I was thinking I was reminded of a song by Ten Shekel Shirt in which I learned in college. The only part I can remember at the moment is this....To be great, great in your eyes is my dream...



Lately, my heart has been heavy and somewhat lost. I know Prattville is were God has called my family...but this new place has made me long for the things of the past. Example: Friends- my life long friends from the great place of Trussville and the sweet friends I made in Dothan. Church- Oh, I long for Wiregrass Church every Sunday...It is a place I love and it will have a very special place in my heart. CBS- Yes, I just got finished saying I didnt attend much, however, I know that it encouraged me and helped me grow in my relationship with the Lord. A house to call home- I never realized how much I took forgranted the houses God blessed us with until we had to live in this apartment...I am ready to have my space back.



Oh, do I know that the Lord has special plans for my life here in Prattville...but some things are missing.



To say all of that, I say this...

I have realized that in life I have failed at many things and have failed many people. Today I have been reminded of Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men." This has humbled me and reminded me that I have failed my Savior in Heaven... because I have not followed God's command here. So I was thinking about how I long to do better in order to be great in His eyes...

• I can be a better follower of Chirst...study, pray, and seek Him more often.


• I desire to be a great mother. Lets face it, I have not put all of my heart into this job at all times.


• I want to be a great wife.


• I want to be a great family member.


• A great friend. This area has been lacking for many years.


• A great seamstress and monogrammer (if thats a word).


• A great communicator. I lack much in the area because I tend to shy away and say stupid things.


• Use my time more wisely.


• To be a great homemakers...a better cook, cleaner, decorator, etc.

So, I would love to accomplish these things in life. Only with the help of my Heavenly Father will I be able to accomplish all of them. Praying that God will give me wisdom!

Thank you for letting my share my heart...I never blog on personal things so this was huge for me.
