Epiphany of the Day

Epiphanies.

I am such a fox personality. I think, and think, and think, and can't sleep and then BOOM.

Epiphany.

The past week I have tossed and turned, been distracted, frustrated, excited, and my mind has been running nonstop. From finally deciding to pursue personal training to finding the facts on Common Core to figuring out where Dave and I will live in December to the Hobby Lobby case ruckus that I spent about 4 hours today reading articles about--my mind has been all over the place. Today, I felt like I was having a panic attack at my internship. I took my lunch to my car to clear my head. I was able to call Dave and discuss my thoughts with him--my concerns, anxieties, and how I felt like I had to have it all figured out right now.

On the way home from work, I was listening to the radio, the host gave a testimony from a devotional Streams in the Desert which I am currently reading. He was struggling with a similar thing--thoughts and ideas in your head that don't stop.

The verse used was Psalm 46:10, one of my favorites that I seemed to have forgotten:

Be still and know that I am God.

And when my spirit tells me all the unknowns and tasks ahead--He says, Be still. KNOW that I AM GOD.

I want to change the world and my entire life that to me has meant I must do everything--everything is my calling. But it's not!!

I know. I'm a tad bit slow :) I've been that "YES" girl because I hate to lose an opportunity to grow.

Remember the parable of the servants? They each were given a few to invest. He did not give all of the tokens to one servant.

Christ has given us each a sphere of influence. Often we have a few that overlap--but we can't do it all. But if we all live in our sphere of influence intentionally then we CAN change the world.

Live the passion God has given you--watch it evolve, see the people you meet, invest in those few.
