Its a month later and this is only my second blog. Often at times I find that I am so busy that its as if I have no life. But yet I look back and realize what makes my life busy.... teaching English, lesson plans, tutoring children, making a cake for the teenagers banquet, driving someone home, running to BJ's to get paper towels, visiting soup kitchens to coordinate volunteers .... then going to manhattan to work a sales job, putting together proposals for a designer, training to learn about the latest washing machine from Germany ....... the list goes on and on and on.
When I speak with my friends and supporters that live outside NYC, who know what I do, my life seems exciting to them. Funny, my life seems so busy that to me, I have no life. Then I stopped to think about it. They see me as having a great life and yet I see it as having no life. Then the Lord reminded of my purpose here and why I do what I do. I am serving Him here on the frontlines. Although it fills my everydays, sometimes with the mundane, its still for Him. Then I thought of the scripture in Matthew 10:39
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
I really have no life because I have lost it and for His sake, I really have found it!!
So next time I tell myself "I have no life", I remember all the little things that add up and make an eternal difference.
