There are days I wish I was more Martha Stewart and less this:
More Paula Deen and less fend for yourself ’cause this multitasking mama is tired.
More organized and less the girl that gets the call “did you forget your appointment at 9:30?” on a regular basis.
I want to be more, do more and feel like more.
I fully intended to write for 31 days about presenting a clean heart before God this month. I fully intended to mail the care package to Shayla that has been sitting on my backseat for the last three days. I fully intended to _______________.
But, today, I feel Jesus calling me to His feet {thanks to the reminder from a friend}. Sit here and be renewed, He beckons.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. ~II Corinthians 4:18
The laundry will get done {and put away} and my kids will not go hungry and I will write here when I can.
Right now, I need more of Him, less of me. More being, less doing. More abiding, less striving.
Less Martha, more Mary. Or better yet, I need to just be Melissa {the one He created me to be}.
The one with the messy house and hectic life who loves her family, teen moms and Jesus more than anything.
