Learning obedience by small things & grace

[joy_of_abigail]

SIDENOTE: "A Christian worker has to learn how to be God’s man or woman of great worth and excellence in the midst of a multitude of meager and worthless things. Never protest by saying, 'If only I were somewhere else!' All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them."
(Oswald Chambers, "

I wish I could spell out my heart as eloquently as you are able to. As it is, I get distracted before I even get to click on "post to journal."

So many things you wrote above resonate with me.

Thank you so much.

I wasn't sure it even made sense as I wrote, so I am grateful for your words, and the resonance!

I don't look here much, but am glad I read this. This seems like a solitary thing. I hope you can share it.

I've had that dismissal of my dreams, too. I only have general impulses which I should ignore.

I also benefited from that Oswald Chambers exhortation. He's extraordinary, put mildly.

Hope you are well. Update me, if you get a chance.

I've been reading him more lately, and enjoyed the sharp prick of recognizance.

Tried to email you several times over last summer, but didn't get a response. Hope that everything is okay.
