Getting Out of the House

When I was working a full-time job, I would often wake up in the morning to the alarm clock forcing me out of bed. Being retired has awarded me the privilege of staying in bed as long as I like without guilt or self-punishment because someone had to cover me at work, or I short-staffed an office.


Unfortunately, no one is affected by my decision to stay in bed all day or not leave the house for a week, but it sure does make me question my purpose.


I know that God is still working in my life, and he will take me where he wants me. I am still in tune with that. Just that I am impatient and want to be pushing the work I do for God before he is ready for me to do it. And that always runs into problems.


I remember a time when I would be frustrated at missing the cue of his calling by second guessing or questioning whether it was truly him or my own purpose. I have fine-tuned my soul to be more aware and I believe I have the ability to go and do when called.
