During the past few years I've realized that I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  I've been asking, or rather begging, God to reveal His Will for my life.  What He has told me is that I am right where He wants me.  What He wants most from me is my full attention and my affection.  

You see, I've been very side-tracked for several years while I dealt with the struggles of our family.  I have come to him more in token faith than in true devotion.  For that, I am deeply ashamed and very grateful for His Grace and Mercy.  My attention now is on what I can do today to show Him how much I love Him by loving others.  In a class I'm taking at church we are reading "Radical" by David Platt.  In it he says: "God blesses his people with extravagant grace so they might extend his extravagant glory to all peoples on the earth.  This basic fundamental truth permeates Scripture from beginning to end."

God has truly blessed me and I want to learn how to extend this Grace to all peoples starting with the people I see everyday.
