I jumped on the computer to put together and embroidery design for end of the year teacher gifts but you know how you get on the computer and get distracted and then time flies and you never accomplish what you set out to do. . .well, this will be one of those times.

Every now and then I enjoy reading the Living Proof Ministry blog (by Beth Moore and her daughters) and today her youngest daughter posted regarding a question she had been asked. . .
“What do you think your Mom has done right in raising you up in the Lord?”
Her Answer:
“. . . But, I think today I realized that it has to be her example of serving the Lord without hesitation. For not allowing her fear of failure to dictate her decisions. . .”

I have had to read that several times to really drink it all in and to really grasp the words. I don’t want my fear of failure to dictate my decisions! Do I struggle with this? YES! Remember the quilt? I want to serve Him and others without hesitation but yet I do hesitate so often because I am so focused on me! I am s-l-o-w-l-y learning what it looks like to live out what He has invited me to. It is hard to step out in faith and walk being obediant to Him. Can you imagine fleshing out those words before your children? Wow! There is such a bigger picture that I so often miss because I am so focused on me and my fears. I don’t want my fear of failure to dictate who I am!

A little something to ponder this mother’s day weekend!
