"how do you do it?!?"
the attention to self always makes me blush and fumble. the appreciation rarely comes from my own generation, but from those who have walked before me, stumbling as it may seem, on the trails that one travels as a parent. But they have also cruised on the pavement of college life, and thus the gasps of wonder when Christopher and I explain our situation to people. He works full time, both full time parents, full time students.
I sell short everytime.
I laugh it off "We drink alot of coffee!"
Or, I just smile.
I sell Him short every time. Why do I fail in to give the Glory to God for the simplest of things?
In church I sing and sing it, but to speak of his Glory daily I fail to do it. And it dawned on me today, as I answered the question yet again, that I am failing to give testimony. Giving your testimony is'nt just a 3-5 minute prepared speech that starts with the phrase " well I was raised in a christian home"
Giving Testimony is giving Glory to God whenever the opportunity arises.
"How do we do it? By the Grace of God! we firmly believe God has called us to the mission field and so if He has we believe He will map out every step of the way. So if God led us to Crown, God can get us through the semesters he knows we need to get through. God knows us, he knows we have two daughters, he gave us that responsibility. Therefore, We get through by trusting that God knows me and my situation, and if He calls, He provides the means to fulfill that calling"
Much better than coffee and goofy smiles huh?
So today, on this first day of the new semester, I learned
Give credit where credit is due. Give glory to God.
