Desperate
I'm excited to be back to blogging on a regular basis! I've missed it and missed hearing from my readers! I love getting your comments - if you ever have trouble commenting please let me know at: jennifermariewalker@gmail.com and I will try to fix the problem!
This morning I was listening to my girl Beth Moore. I downloaded an old podcast from September of 2009 - no idea how I even found it! All I can say is that the Lord used words from a year ago to challenge me today. Beth was talking about being desperate for something we CAN have for a change! How many times do we wish we could be prettier, more successful, more educated, nicer to others, "on top of it all", perfect? I feel like that all the time. The concept of being desperate for something we can have is awesome! She was saying we can be desperate for ears that truly hear what others are saying, eyes that truly see where others are coming from, mouths that speak the humble but honest truth!
I was challenged coming out of a week where I found out I did not get a teaching job I applied for. Why is teaching such a passion of mine, I have no idea? Why do I fail to be content with what I have if I'm not teaching, I have no idea? Here's the deal...the Lord has been doing SO much in my life that I refuse to go on feeling this way. I'm giving the Lord permission to help me feel successful in what I have and as of this morning to have eyes that truly see, ears that are intune to others, etc. My prayer is that the Lord would make me desperate for the things I have in my life: being a mom and wife, leading Kid Zone, being a piano teacher, volunteering in my community, working in the lives of my church family!
If this resonates with you at all today I encourage you to take a step back and ask yourself if you are desperate for what you CAN have?
