The Lord is just determined to pull me out of my comfort zone and I'm finally seeing the blessing in letting Him do this. I went to the House again tonight. I haven't been feeling well, so I probably wouldn't have gone except I'd already agreed to give Charitie a ride. And then Nehemiah calls me about going, which is great because I was totally gonna call him. It looks like I'm not the only one being called out of her comfort zone.
We talked about how to be a blessing to others:
1) Over tipping (20%)
2) Being in the Word so that we are given the strength and the blessing to do this. I've really been convicted about this lately. Even if I have to leave the house early or come home later after work (there are just too many distractions here or my bed is too comfy).
3) I've given a dollar which I must give away to someone in need.
I also went to afterhouse at the Magley's. Again I was tempted not to go. I needed to take Charitie home (she was grounded) and I'd never been there before and didn't have directions. Well, after I got gas it was only 9:30 and since I have GPS and a WABC directory I had no real reason not to go. After all, I'm certainly not going to get to know people better by going home (I'm the only one who lives here).
It really is about showing up, reaching out, and trusting the Lord to do the rest.
Do I have to do everything? No. Do I have to be everything to everyone? No. Do I need to go where the Spirit leads? Yes. Do I over think things and read too much into everything? Yes. Do I serve (and serve with) a most gracious and loving Heavenly Father who has only my best interest and the interest of others at heart? ABSOLUTELY, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!
