Today was awesome. At the beginning of today, I told God
that the day was His. Whatever He wanted me to do, I would do. Apparently He
turned it back around and said, “No Bekah. Today is your day.”
I have struggled lately feeling like I’m not reaching out
enough. I’m not listening to God’s voice or following what He wants me to do.
So my day started out at the soup kitchen. Perfect place, right? Several
homeless or less fortunate people coming in for a meal, prime ministry spot.
Hah. Not so much. I walked around, talked to a few people, but didn’t really
have any big God moments. It was nice to go and just serve though, be in the
background. When I left there, I went and had lunch with a friend. I love this
lady and wish I could spend more time with her. But that’s another story. So
after lunch, I felt like going to Macon (which is about an hour away) just to
sit and work at the coffee shop. I love the coffee shop setting, people
watching and such. So I downloaded some Jonathan David Helser (if you haven’t
heard him, definitely check him out) and hit the road. Ah-mazing. I love
driving. I spent an hour on the road worshipping God, just screaming out these
songs. Simply awesome. So anyways, got to the coffee shop and did some work,
talked to a few random people, and just enjoyed the day.
It was so refreshing, even though I did some work, to just
sit back and listen to God. Sometimes He doesn’t tell you things to go do, or
places to be. He just sits and smiles that you are enjoying His presence. And I
never thought of it that way before. I spent about 4 hours in the coffee shop,
worship music in my ears, taking care of some fundraising business. It was
awesome.
On the way home, I kept noticing the stars. They were so
bright, and I kept thinking of the David Crowder song, Stars. “You should see
the stars tonight. How they shimmer and shine so bright. Against the black they
look so white. Coming down from such a height to reach me now… And how could
such a thing shine its light on me, and make everything beautiful again?”
I needed today; a relaxing day to just spend with God. I
think we forget the importance of that sometimes, and get caught up in our
time-consuming schedules. But it’s something we all could be reminded of,
regularly.
Love Always,
Bekah
