And Messy. Isn't this the way it go...Beautiful. And Messy. Isn't this the way it goes? Daily I strive to have integrity in my fruit...fruit when no one is watching...fruit when the blinds are closed and the proverbial milk is all over the floor. I have discovered it is in some ways harder to have integrity in my fruitfulness when I spend so much of my time with just my family (read, discipline to wait on the Spirit and be lead instead of just charging through life on my own whims). It was easier to be fruitful when I was constantly out in the workforce or serving publicly. I knew others were watching, that every moment counted, they needed my fruit. When it's just me and the kids at home somehow it's harder. Harder to remember. Harder to not just relax. Harder to be that polished proverbs 31 woman. It's also enlightening. Now that I actually have so much time where it's really only God watching I get to consider...who is my motivation? My God, redeemer, savior and friend...or those who are just watching. Before, it seemed there was ALWAYS someone watching...now I get to go deeper into the refiner's fire...so when I emerge others no longer see me, they see Him. Good post! :)shmilyluehrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063930574744786269noreply@blogger.com
