June is swiftly approaching, and my mind is turning to our house. We had agreed that we would put the house on the market in June. We have not done any work on the house yet this spring, due to busyness or lack of focus (probably both). As June draws near and I think about my goals, duties, present, and future, I feel the immense bulk of the things in my life that I cannot control. There are not enough hours in my day to accomplish all of the work I want to get done. I can only give so much of my time to ambitious projects if I want to spend any quality time with my family every day, and I also cannot sacrifice rest or day-to-day responsibilities. I can only do so much.
With these limitations in mind, I frequently pray for God's will in my life. I know the desires of my heart, and I see the obstacles between where I am and where I want to be. Greater than any of these things, however, is my desire to life the life God intends for me: to do his work; to love the people he has placed in my life; to be a good steward of all he has given me; to live a life of love, peace, generosity, kindness, beauty, and fruitfulness. When I think about these greater goals, my own ambitions don't seem so important. As June draws near, I rest in my Father's hand, content.
