Follower!

I have a follower! Thanks, Libby! Now I have to think of something to say. Something profound. Something deep. Hmmm....Nope. It's just not coming to me.

Wait, maybe I do have something to say.

Today I struggled with time management. I had to be at work at 2, so I had the morning to...get stuff done. I didn't want to...get stuff done. I didn't like the things I had to get done, cleaning the kitchen, dining room, living room, do the laundry, clean my bedroom, you know the drill. All the stuff we have to do, but don't like doing. I kept being distracted by e-mail and facebook. I was so completely A.D.D. I would start one thing, move to another, then back to the first thing, and so on. I would listen to the radio, turn it off, etc. It was a beautiful day. I wanted to be outside, but because of my very poor time management what I needed to get done just wasn't getting done, and there was that 2:00 deadline. Finally I managed to make a dent in the work. Kitchen was cleaned, Living room and dining room picked up, bed made, clothes hung up and put away, laundry folded and delivered to appropriate rooms. I took a shower, and made it to work only a few minutes late...(woops).

Then I went to Frank and Barbara's Bible study tonight. Frank read about a nun who wrote about the most mundane tasks she had to do (she was a nurse) - that she would do it "all for Jesus." Clean the bedpans? All for Jesus. Bathe a patient? All for Jesus. Change the sheets? All for Jesus.

I thought about all the mundane things I'm called to do. I'm oh, so tempted to hate them, to resent them, to think I have better, more important things to do. But if I just changed my perspective to the fact that everything I do is ALL for Jesus, perhaps my attitude will change a bit, and I will have joy in my work, in my service for Him. He's done so much for me. Nothing is too menial for me to do for Him.
