I've been bathed by the spirit...

I just got a call from Linda, the volunteer coordinator. We can come! I haven't been this excited about something in a long time. We'll be helping pass out food to needy families from 9:30 until mid afternoon. Linda is excited we're coming and I'm excited we get to come. Oh, how great is our God! It's a small step in the serving department but a step it is and one that I am so ever grateful for. My heart longs to make a difference. I've been so caught up in taking care of my family and making sure everything was perfect before we served that we've never really served. If only I could get the laundry done and the shopping done and the cards sent and the groceries bought...you get the idea. It never was done. As it stands right now I am totally unprepared for the company I'm having tomorrow that will be staying with me through the week. I still need to do more laundry, sort through my recipes for ingredients to buy and grocery shop. It's ok. I know it will get done. It may just get done when they're all here.

Let's hope the panic of adding something like this to my week without being prepared for my company doesn't set in and rob me of my joy and the joy I know God intends for my children to experience. I am, you all know...real. I know myself all too well. For now, I'll go with the longing in my heart and the desire to serve. Ya, I'll go with that.
