I woke up this morning and paused before getting out of bed. I realized that in my personal prayers I was totally focusing upon my desires, my goals, my frustrations, and my wishes, my plans how these things should be working out. I know I am here to prove myself and my petitions of Father should express my desires so I can prove myself worthy of His Kingdom. However...
I decided that today I would forget myself, my dreams and my own wishes (at least I would try to do so) and offer myself to Father. If there was bidding I should do, if there were children I should contact and express love, if there were neighbors who may need my attention or even my strong back and work, if there were weeds that needed to be eliminated, I would commit to listening to that Still Small Voice and follow it.
Father has been so good to me, even with this past week of unforeseen challenges, the blessings totally out weigh and out number the obstacles I have. So, why not remember Him, His goodness to me and offer to be His hands, as we were directed in one of the past conferences.
I would assume that part of realizing our dream of becoming missionaries, or your dream of whatever, it would entail also following His direction, His whispers, His use our our hands.
