Nothing

Today I am linking up with Five Minute Friday at lisajobaker.com. The goal is to use the prompt she gives and simply write for five minutes on that topic. No editing or revising. Today's prompt is "Nothing".  Here it goes.....

Nothing

The world may make you believe you are nothing. That what you do doesn’t matter. If you are not doing something big and noteworthy, you are nothing.

God says you need to believe that you are something. Something big to Him. Everything you do matters to Him. Your thoughts and your actions.  He cares about you.

He cares for you when you are simply reading a book to your kids, He cares for you when you are stuck in traffic and He cares for you when you are volunteering at a soup kitchen.

Believe that He cares and that you are something BIG to Him.

Do not believe you are nothing. It’s so not true. You are awesome.

Grateful

Today I am linking up with Five Minute Friday at lisajobaker.com. The goal is to use the prompt she gives and simply write for five minutes on that topic. No editing or revising. Today's prompt is "Grateful".  Here it goes.....


I am grateful that after a long, cold (and I mean REALLY cold) winter, God brings us spring. Even though the trees and grass and plants remained dormant all winter long, they were never dead, just waiting for their time to come back to life. It was hard to believe winter would ever end.

Just like the trees of winter, so much is lying dormant inside of me. There is so much I want to do. I want to write more, serve more, be more and get past this winter season of my life. But it is not my spring time yet. God will bring on the season when the time is right. I know it is coming soon. I can feel it. And for that I am grateful.


OK, my five minutes are up. I have a lot more to say, but it would take me hours to sort it out in my head and put it to paper. That's part of the reason I don't write often:)
