Sorry about the absence. The summer’s just had way too much going on. Look for the devos to pick back up in a week or two.

Ok got it- this devotion is very helpful in understanding bringing the puppet lesson around to a way to understand it better. Takes a while for some of us…I think it’s instilled in us as sinners that we want to be the best. We want to be the “greatest”. We want others to think we are important and in that effort, they should be serving us, not the other way around. But God’s definition of greatness and our human definition are two very entirely different things. The first will become last, and the last shall be first right? Not even in our vocabulary so we need to let God work through us so that truly we can be the servant He has intended for us to be.

I know I for one am scared of many things. Take flying for example. Or worrying about failing tests. Or pretty much anything else you could ever think of. And sometimes I don’t do the right thing and I worry about it too much and don’t trust God like I should. But God is the only one that knows what we truly need, and only he can take a horrible situation and make it good. Because he sees the whole picture and we don’t.

oooo – Rebecca and I taught Aaron something. I’m so glad. We’ve been trying for so long….
See – it’s about serving others…..haha.
I really do think that as we honor God and serve others, we are “served” right back and God allows us to be fed through our service. Just my humble opinion.

I for one am really glad my life didn’t end with what I wanted for my life. Didn’t end up with only MY dreams and ambitions. If it had, I’d be living down south with just a husband, and would have missed out on the greatest blessing in my life, my daughter. I did not plan on having children. Yet, the greatest joy, and I think accomplishment God has allowed me to experience is having Courtney. Having a child helped me trust God. Helped me listen to God. MADE me honor God and trust Him for things I never dreamed I could. Made me know I could not do things on my own. Had I not followed God’s path, I would not be in PA. I would not be a Farrell (hahaha), I would not be a mom. I would not know the joy of being loved unconditionally. I totally agree. Settling for our own wants and desires is foolish and leads to destruction. Proverbs 14:12 – says it best.
