Weighing Apples
“Good Morning America,” were the
words I thought to myself as I woke up at 4:00am on October 28th. I still
couldn’t believe I was back home in Lake Jackson, Texas. Just six months ago I
was heading away from this place into the unknown land of Vietnam. Now I am back
in America staring at all my packed up boxes I had left at my parent’s house
trying to make since of what to do with them next. Some part of me is excited to
begin the new chapter in my life, but other parts are grieving, having just left
a precious family in Vietnam. Which is the true response to something God has
asked me to do?
The very next day I was in the
kitchen weighing apples at 7:00am in the morning. I looked at the scale and
began to laugh at myself. I thought …..WHO in their RIGHT mind would travel
around the world to a place totally unknown to them and weigh apples for God.
Why would someone even DO that? Shouldn’t God’s children be doing something SOOO
much more than weight apples? I am no one special, but God chose me to do that
very job. It’s the little things that God asks you to do and your heart’s
response to it that God is looking for. |
