I'm doing this entry from my phone because my computer is being dumb but I still want to write today. I'm writing in a park with the wind in my hair and the sky cloudy. I've spent all morning looking for a place to write outside. I feel like my day has been a mess so far. Nothing is in order for me but have you wondered if it is in order for God. He has given me these words to write while driving around.
Some days our life just seems to be cluttered and not in order. Do you ever wonder why? Maybe it's because we do what we want and are not looking to God for His Ways and miracles? We get to caught up in the everyday things that we forget to look at Him.
I had a friend tell me this past month that she prays everyday and ask God to order her day. That got me thinking how easy would our days be if we would remember to ask God to have our day and order it. Lay it out before us and give us the strength and wisdom and energy we need just for that day because His mercies are new every morning. I also notice myself when I pray that in the morning, I'm more in tune with God so hopefully I can see His moments and miracles for me. Maybe because of that I can change a child's life.
This past week I know I let a lot of moments pass by that I shouldn't have with some certain children because I didn't have the patience or energy or wisdom to think on the spot for them. I went home worrying and crying because I knew I could have handled it better with God but things seemed to happen fast and get cluttered easily. I want to help the children and if you know me personally I have a hard time letting children pass me by without helping them. I would take each of them home with me if I could. I get easily attached to them when I start helping them.
Some days I think okay God is this the child you have for me today. Friday was so good because I got to see one of my children come back for vacation and he was really happy. He loved all the staff he said but he was just hyper and full of excitement. That gives me hope and let's me know that when I do order by day by God's plan not my own plans will turn out good for those who Love Him.
God has the plan all ready set out before us for our lives. We just need to keep seeking Him and trust that He has a good order of things. He brings order to everything just look at the story of Creation and since it is Palm Sunday look at the story to the cross and Easter after the cross. Lay the old order down and pick up the order God has for you. That's what I'm trying to do. He is changing me in ways I never thought possible (aka short haircut). It's hard but will be worth it when we see our Heavenly Home.
Challenge this Easter week: God knows what we need to get through certain things so why are we scared to let Him order our day and once we get that let Him do our week and then if we really trust Him why not our whole life.
