Commitment is a Lifetime Lesson

        I thought that since it is Valentine's Day tommrow that I would write something along that line that can help everyone out or get everyone thinking at least. "Commitment is a Lifetime Lesson" or "Commitment is hard in any level of life." I've been thinking about that word "commitment" lately and what it really means but it hit me hard yesterday when I didn't get up and go to my Bible study at church. I started to wonder how many little things like that do I just drop because I'm too sleepy or don't have the time to do. Then I got to thinking what are some things I am committed too right now in this part of my life.
         I have two things that haven't changed since I moved here and won't change for a long time. The first one is my job and the kiddos I help. It seems like I've became so committed to them that I'm becoming the leader for them which is good but strange for a shy girl like me. I will say that the reason I missed yesterday's study was because I was sleepy from working. The children take a lot of my strength right now because I'm the main one there. We also have a challenging child so I'm trying to firgure him out and I love it but it is hard at the same time. People are really seeing me taking command and stepping up to the job. I've been told twice this week that I'm doing something along those lines. It feels great but then again I feel bad for the other people because it is just me doing what I love and was made to do. It really is my passion.
         The other thing is encouraging and be there for friends and praying for them. I keep up with what they are doing and drop a little comment on Facebook every once in awhile. I pray for them when they have things going on like they do now big things espically. I been encouraging them since the start of their dream. I can do 2 big things at once but the small things seems to slip to the side espically when people don't understand me at all. I've also gave up a lot of things just to focus on my job.
            What gets me is commitment can change, for me now, day to day and month to month, which I think sounds bad but that is my life now. I'm at the exploring and having fun stage I guess even though some things I want to have a part of for good it's just not time yet for it to happen. With my job though, it is understandable for things to change and you have to be flexible because you know never know what kind of children you will get or who will be there the next time. I know the importance of commitment and trust me I would love to have it and not worry about a thing but life doesn't let us have that. Through all of life, you have to me committed to something whether job, spouse, friends, or yourself, you are committed to something all the time.
             I think that God teaches us a lot about commitment when we are committed to Him. He tells and shows us what it is like to be committed to something or someone when He Loves us the way He does. He is committed to making our lives the best that He knows how better then we do. He is committed to making sure we are happy. He is committed to making our dreams and desires come true. He is committed to giving us what we need whether strength, wisdom, and such day by day. He is committed to being by our side all the time so we don't have to go far at all. He is committed to us by making sure we have such a beautiful world to live in.
             I have a challenge for you all: The challenge is and I will be thinking more about this too in the next few days: What are some other examples of how we can be committed in our life by God showing how He is committed to us? What are you going to be committed to for Him? Mine is the children and people that I'm serving.
