life

this morning i was heading to work. i hopped in the car and knew i had a lot to do. our secretary is out on thursday mornings for a little while so i was motivated to get the job done, get a few errands done, get my run in, and be home for lunch with hubby.

i turned the car on and the fray started playing - in fact, it was the song you are hearing right now. this song has so been on my heart lately. or i should say, God is using this song to talk to me. between God, this song, and some blogging friends, i've really been thinking about my presence. or maybe i should say, my lack of being present in each moment. so as i started singing to the song i had just cranked up i decided to be present. i want to know if it would matter if i sat and talked to you.

i turned the corner just down the street. now, you should know, i drive this route maybe 20 times a week. that might be an exageration but it doesn't seem like it. so i'm singing and gazing. loving the fresh snow coating. thanking Jesus for the white to contrast the dead trees. then i notice something i hadn't the previous 19 times this week. there, in the little dead tree next to the road was a bird nest.

nothing too exciting huh? to me - it was such an affiramtion - God is life. there can be life in death - and if you are a believer, there is. and how do i save a life? by being life, by living Jesus, by being present in each moment.

where do i go wrong???????

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
