What's My Response?

I was facing another frustrating moment today when I had to make a decision - How am I going to respond? Abigail had been crying for a long time, I was trying to figure out something on the computer, and I needed to be cooking supper. Once I thought of my options, I knew I had none. As a believer in the power of the Gospel to change lives, I knew I couldn't fall apart. I didn't get a shower until 5:15 in the afternoon (with just enough time to get ready for church), the girls stepped up to help (again), the computer actually worked for me, and supper turned out edible.

I glanced at Facebook at some point later in the day and this was a friend's status. I don't know what his thinking was for putting it up, but it was a nice reminder for me too.
Wherever you may live, and whatever may be your trials; however great your difficulties, and however small your helps; nothing should prevent your aiming at the highest standard, to behave like one who believes that Christ is coming again! You should resolve, by God’s help, to live so that the day of Christ shall find you needing as little change as possible! You should seek to have...


your tastes so heavenly,
your affections so spiritual,
your will so subdued,
your mind so unworldly

...that when the Lord appears, you may be thoroughly in tune for His kingdom!

Thank you for the encouragement to be strong in God when all circumstances scream out otherwise! Sometimes I think that, "I can do all things through Christ" isn't working. It's usually because of my poor planning or because I am trying to do more than He asks of me. It's a battle and a matter of balance which must be prayed over, isn't it?! :) Praise Him, we don't have to face this crazy life alone!
