Its funny how things change so quickly and there often isnta thing you can do.
Today being firday is my second day at work all week.. most would say score.. but trust me, not so good!
I wrote a blog last week saying id explain my personal challeneg for this week... its never happened, and teh challeneg has become suddenly 10 times harder.
Let me explain... beggining of this week seemed t be like any other week... id planned a busy week, i had much i wante dto do, a full week of work.. a full week of lots fo nights out and being sick was NOT in my plans...
But one pride swallowin doctors visit shut most of that down.
I eventually admitted my pain wa sbeyond what i could handle without seeking attention.. so off i trotted to my doctor, to be told i most likley have a stomach ulcer.. and i should go back to bed and spend the next day there!
So now, im on some icky meds and feel the urge to eat like constantly...
which brngs me to this challenge, This sunday at church is the owsoms self denial appeal.. which for teh non salvos out there owsoms means one weeks salary on missionary sunday.
Basically its an appeal to rais emoney for the salvo overseas work in areas taht nee dit the most, so io had challenged myself to not spend anymor emoney tahn necessary this week and put all taht i would spend into this appeal.. whch u know, sounds fine... i didnt do anythin most of this week, but after paying doc bills and buyin meds... i aint got all taht much left!
But i will give the little i have witha willing heart. knowing God doesnt call us to give millions per say.. just what we have, im reminded of the lady in the bible who gave her 2 coins... to those surroundin her it seemed liek nothin, but to God... it was teh greatest gift of all.. becaus eit was all she had.
So today my new challenge stands at this... physically i feel weak... but i will do what i can for his service, financially im no millionaire.. but i have wat ive been blessed with
so no matter how great i will give my service and gifts to him... to the best of my ability to serve him better.
Sometimes this challeneg be it less money than originally intened is tougher... coz its more of a sacrifice... anbd sacrifice is hard... but in the long run, whats more important.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
