The journey is so much easier when you have someone walking next to you.  I have an amazing director with Mary Kay.  She is a wonderful Christian lady who is willing to challenge me not only in my business but also with my walk with the Lord.  I needed to talk to someone and have confirmations made and also be challenged in my thinking.  The Lord is faithful and will be there and cares about the little things.  He cares that I am frustrated with my two year old’s inability to follow direction or listen in the most basic way.  He also cares that the five month old doesn’t seem to want to have a spoon come within inches of her mouth without telling us just how much she hates cereal.  He cares that I have a heart to reach women and don’t know exactly how to go about making that happen.  He cares that I have a Mary Kay business that can both help us…He gave that to me, and also bring me people who need Him.  He is so awesome!  Our God is so awesome!

I love my Savior though sometimes He can throw a loop that keeps you thinking and can get you stuck.  I dreamt about Teen Mania last night.  Working there and impacting young women who are embarking on such a year of change and challenges.  It excited me and made me want to apply right here and now.  All I could think about though is two little girls who need that input just as much.  A life in Lancaster that I wouldn’t want to leave and family close by that would be hard to add miles between.  Rusty has dreams and desires too and they all revolve around here…  Is it God or Charis????  I assume the question will be answered one day!

Oh, and then there is Mary Kay.  Is it for me?  Is my struggle to push through because God has something great for the future concerning it or because maybe it just isn’t what I am to be doing right now or even ever.  I hate uncertainty and feel like that is all life holds right now.

Do you ever find that God sometimes needs to nag you to get your attention.  I know He isn’t actually trying to be a nag, but that is how it feels.  As irritating as it can be at the time, I know that it is for my best and for the greater good.

The young adults at our church are doing a series this summer based on the book Chasing Daylight.  I am hoping to read the book though I haven’t got a copy yet.  This has been a challenging time for me.  The little things that the Lord has placed on my heart the last months are coming back full circle.  I feel in part overwhelmed and at the same time realize that I need to do something.  As I think about taking initiative…which is what we discussed this week, I realize how precious little initiative I take.  Why is it that I struggle so much?  It is such a battle and I truly wish it wasn’t.  I wish that life weren’t so challenging…though isn’t that part of the point?  Part of the challenge of becoming more like Jesus is the daily changes and choices that we must make.

Well, here is to making better choices this week as I strive to become more like Jesus!
