Look (flag wavers)
Today I’m melding a 5 minute Friday with being a 31 dayer (writing for 31 days on one topics)–today’s challenge is Look (FMF) and Honesty (31 days).
GO:
It all starts with the words
Look at me Mom no hands!!!
Then that feeling of having the spotlight on you blurs your boundries–I call them flag wavers–I used to be one. I used to believe that my troubles in the world were the biggest, my accomplishments the greatest and my heartache the worst ever.
Now things are different–I serve God and know that my life has a purpose. It was never about me–it was about him–I should have been waving the God flag.
But
God wants us to be so busy with his work with both hands–that we can’t wave the flag, we shouldn’t need to wave the flag, our peace needs to come from inside our soul.
STOP
Today I’m also linking up with Weekend Whatever and Faith Filled Friday.
Stopping over from Five-Minute Fridays with Lisa Jo. I am giggling as I am picturing myself throwing my little tantrums, waving my sad little “look at me” flag. It is amazing how time on this earth and in the Arms of the Father, I have realized that the flag I used to pick up was nothing compared to the one God wanted to place in my hand. The flag that states, His Banner over me is Love. Thank you for sharing.
wow! you said it so much better than me! thanks for sharing.
Be Blessed.
Good post.
thank you!
“Now things are different–I serve God and know that my life has a purpose.” AMEN!
It has taken me a while to get here and I’m growing in grace and peace.
what a gift and joy to know that one’s life has purpose…really like that image of waving a flag…blessings :)
