I’m a dreamer too. It’s hard to keep that perspective when you have about 10 new ideas before breakfast each day. But, I feel it deep, too. A call to be present. To serve faithfully in the “mundane-ness” of my everyday. Knowing He sees it as is pleased.

Ever since the Lord stirred my heart for the nations, I haven’t been able to accept the ‘normal’ life that I’m in right now. It is a daily struggle to accept where I am right now & not despair over it. I just see how big & mighty God is & have a hard time believing He can use me right here, in the mundane tasks of working in a corporate office. Oh how I long to live an adventurous life with God. But I suppose I must first learn to heed His leading, even if His leading is simply to stay right where I am.

This really hit home today. With two boys (2&5), its hard to do anything but make sure they are taken care of. However, for the last 5 years I’ve been beating myself up for not going on a mission when I had the chance. Now who knows when that will be. Thanks for speaking God’s truth and puting this in perspective! A much needed word. Thank you!!

I’m the one always thinking that I should be doing what someone else is doing . . . overseas, missions, etc. But always God is gently reminding me that homeschooling my 2 little ones, even though it isn’t as “big” or “glamorous” to me as what some of my brothers and sisters in Christ are doing, is still incredibly important to Him. And I am right where I need to be. Thanks for this, Lara. I needed to be reminded of it again.

Your writing have been the things I needed to hear most on any particular day. You minister to my soul, my unconfident heart. Thank you for your writings.
