Today I am taking a totally selfish "all about me" moment... so gather round. I took my 5 minutes today to ask God what he wants me to be when I grow up. If I grow up... no wait, if I am 32 do I automatically enter grown up status? When do we know that we are doing what we are supposed to do? I envision the opening scene from Cinderella waking up(hair & make up fully done) to bright sun, a flock of birds flying her gown to her as she sings in perfect pitch to greet the day. For some reason mine always starts with half my hair standing straight up, the other flat and frizzy; i wake up to a gassy dog trying to steal all of my pillows; and my melodic voice is more like Kermit the Frog with a cold... my fairy godmother is out of town most mornings. So if I am doing what God wants me to do, where is my entourage of birds to fetch my clothes?
It all hit me as I was using my custom made bottle of baby butt rinse brought to me by parents of a baby I watch. He is allergic to wipes and most fibers, so I get to ponder life's questions during the 20 minutes it takes me to spray down his rear and use countless cotton balls to clear the mess... do not be jealous! God wants me to be happy with what I have but always strive for more. When baby butt rinse in involved, up is really the only option.
Things are starting to turn around here in the Phillips' house. God has given us gifts that we have prayed for and prayed for, and I appreciate each one. I want to give others a glimpse of what God has given me. I can never fully appreciate things if I compare myself to unrealistic goals. So, as I sit and wait for bibity bobity boo, I am going to enjoy today for what it is. Take your 5 minutes and ask God what He has in store for you. I kept looking for what was down the road from God, that I missed what was right here, right now! So, even if God has put a big bottle of baby butt rinse in your way, just go with it because its what He wants for you right then. Have faith that you are doing these things for a reason. It's a journey, and He is in charge! Blessings and love to all today.
