Who do you think you are???!!!!:)

I woke up this morning, realizing exactly what the question was that was going around in my head.. it was there, but I just couldn't place a finger on what it actually was...!

It was... "who do you think you are??" and the follow-on to that... "who do you think you are to be doing A, B, or C??" It made me realize why I am in the position I am in right now and a little of what I think might hold me back. Then looking around... I wonder how many of us are stopped from doing what God calls us to do, because we just don't think we can, or it seems like such a presumptuous thing for us specifically to be doing! We all know God calls us to big things, and new things, to teach us and draw us on in him, but sometimes life takes over, and sometimes other things, or other people get in the way, not to mention the needs. There is sooo much to be done!

Soooo...... who does each of us think we are? Where are we going, and what would God have us do? We are all given free will and a choice to obey, or not. We all have the opportunity to learn to hear what God would have for each of us in our lives, and sometimes it's easier to do it, and sometimes, it's easier to stick to what's safe and what we know and can do, rather than going on, allowing ourselves to be stretched and prodded into all kinds of amazing things.

So.... who do we think we are...? We are the beloved children of God. He speaks to each of us and calls us by name. He has a plan to lead, and grow us, in a unique and individual way that is just right for us, not the next person. He doesn't call us to do as much as we can, but to love him with all our heart, and give our lives to him to pour into, and out of, in whatever way he chooses to do so!! So amen to that!:) And that's just the beginning....:) Think of all those big huge things he can do with a whole body of us working together!
