A few days ago, I got a letter addressed to myself. I had no idea where it had come from until I opened it. A few years ago, I was at a conference where participants were asked to write down their personal and professional goals. The leader of the conference collected them and promised to send them back. I am happy to report that the personal goals were met to the degree that they were within my control. The professional goals were laid down to rest for a higher purpose.
Tonight, I got a phone call that reminded me that I am in the right place. I think it is easy to wonder if we could be doing more. I tried to do more this year and share my skills in various ways. I think it is fair to say that it didn't work out really. I am coming to realize that the lesson might be about doing less. In the past few weeks, I have had time to cook a little more and exercise. A lot of that relates to lung function but some of it comes down to time too.
I have always found a sense of security in the fact that God has more work for me to do. I really prefer to have the plan in hand but I am confident that He has plans for me and isn't done yet. Today, my latest calling was tested and I found myself wondering about the grand plan. My friend on the other end reminded me that there is more to life than long hours and estate gifts.
Blessings,
Cindy
