the little things

Dreams. Big dreams. I've got 'em. And lots of 'em too.
Sometimes I get restless. I want to skip 'now', and get to the 'fun' stuff, the stuff that God has planned for me.
I shake my head, laughing silently on the inside. Honey, I tell myself, this is God's plan for you too. Yup, washing dishes, studying, and loving.
Next week, i'll try again. What big thing can I do for God NOW. I'm not doing anything in this boring place. All of these people already know you, God!
This time, I facepalm. That's just it! You are not doing anything. but, you should be because He put you there. As insignificant as your life may seem, you've got to trust that this, right now, matters to someone. Maybe it's an act of love you do for someone else, maybe it's simply learning to be patient and trust in Him.
I struggle with this. A. Lot. I am surrounded day after day by people who could use more love of God in their life. I mean, we all could, right? And I sit in the corner, pouting, because God won't give me the 'hard stuff'. Thank goodness this is a walk and not a step. If it was, i would've lost many steps ago. Hallelujah! It's a journey. I can choose now to step in the right direction, even if yesterday i stepped to the left, and tomorrow I'll step to the right.
Give those dreams to him. let him work it all out in his perfect timing. don't waste precious moments waiting for a miracle when God is asking you be a part of a small miracle in someone else's life. a miracle that might be a simple as: You mean so much to me. I wanted you to know that. or even listening. Have you done that recently? I haven't nearly as much as I should have. or helping out, reaching out. Hugging, loving, praying, forgiving, and repenting.
It's difficult. so difficult. but think of the opportunities to be a blessing. Every single person you see could be blessed by you. which ones will God ask you to reach out to?
