I was glad I showed up to VBS tonight. A teensy part of me almost talked me into not going because I still needed to eat dinner and it was already almost 7 pm by the time I got home. And this week has been tiring, I'm not gonna lie. But I elected to grab a snack and do dinner drive-thru style. I'm glad I did. It was one more night to help where I was needed, to build new relationships with kids in my church, to serve in a way that was concrete and obvious. Sometimes concrete and obvious are good adjectives. Especially when one is seeking out opportunities to serve in her everyday life.
Speaking of which. A snag that I'm hitting is a tendency to want to plan out what I think my opportunities might be each day. If this is truly about serving God, I need to be looking and listening to what His plans might be. And yes, they may coincide. But I want to be sure that I'm keeping my eyes and ears open as my day unfolds. As opposed to waking up in the morning and thinking, "Ok, so today the way I'll serve will be to ______." Does that make sense?
