Swinging and Snow

Recently, a woman asked me if I have doubts about where God has called me. My immediate answer was no and even when I do, other people affirm it for me. The truth is answering the call God has placed on my life isn't where my doubts creep in. I know God has given me a gift in working with disabled children and teens. The doubt I have is wether I am doing any good. I really wonder if I am truly advancing God's kingdom. Am I making a difference?

Today, I spent the afternoon with a disabled 20 year old girl. She is very smart and capable but can't be left alone at home. I suggested we go on a picnic as the day was very lovely. There is a nearby park that she loves to play on. She whispered as we left "You read my heart, Aimee. I love picnics." After lunch, she begged for me to swing with her. She declares "Please you are the only one who does." We swung for 20 mins. As the finished, we ended in giggles as we tried to swing sideways and bump into each other. I told her "I think Jesus must have loved to swing." She said "Yes and snow."

I didn't make a huge difference today except to her...and I have to believe to her Maker too.

God bless you and keep you, God smile on you and gift you, God look you full in the face and make you prosper. In so doing, they will place my name on the People of Israel-I will confirm it by blessing them." (Numbers 6:24-27 MSG)
