Single Moments

I was encouraged the other day to start blogging again.  So here goes nothing.

I would do a recap of everything that has happened since March, but that would be a very random, blah post.  Instead let me focus on the one reoccurring theme that has been brought up or laid on my heart. 

I'm ready for something big!  I pray for the opportunity, for that "Bam!" moment when I am nearly knocked over because that "Bam!" moment was the one that I was most certainly created for, put here, at that moment to be who I was created to be.  Unfortunately I've been struggling with the question of who was I created to be?  I get down on myself because the rest of the world around me is changing careers, traveling, getting married, having kids and I sit in my own little world doing the same humdrum activities that I always do. 

This summer I took several opportunities to get out of my own little world.  Bluegrass festivals, farmer's markets, part- time job, sweet corn festival, demolition derby's, trailer races, Hy-Vee Triathlon, Ragnar running series, horseback riding, river floating, river riding, Ragbrai, new towns visited and old towns memories cherished.  Every single moment showed me one thing, there is a world of people out there who are all waiting for a "Bam!" moment or even just a moment to be happy, content, relaxed.  As long as I am being that person that could potentially make someone's day happy, content or relaxed, then I guess I don't need to search for that "Bam!" moment.  Just by remembering everyday I am here to BE a Child of God I can sit back and relax.  "Bam!" moments are what movies and books give us.  God gives us BEing moments.  Every single day he gives us moments to be like him, loving and caring towards everyone. 

While I still would welcome something big in my life, I've learned to be content this summer with every single little moment.

"Live every moment with Love in your heart, Grace in your step, and Gratitude in your soul."
