Being Faithful with My Time

Hubby calls me a workaholic and an over doer...and I admit that I often struggle with the thought of not doing ENOUGH...Being on bed rest is a really humbling experience, especially if you're not used to sitting, I'm not...I remember when I quit my Engineering career to start our family, my pastor told me at that time that this was now a time I could take to study God's Word. At that time, I struggled so much with that advice...I had just quit my job as the only female Manufacturing Engineer in the company...I was awarded the Woman in Industry award that year...I couldn't just go from being somebody to nobody...And thus, I pursued different ministry opportunities to fulfill my need to continue to be SOMEBODY "for God." Well, on bed rest, there is no pursuing anything and with the wrong mindset one could easily get discouraged about her identity. Who am I? What am I good for? I can't do anything! Well, this is the time the Lord has given to me to be content in Him...and I now have the time to study His Word to grow in my love for Him and in turn I can grow in my love for others through prayer. This is how I hope to be faithful with my time.

An additional comment, this baby's development is number one priority and I haven't forgotten! Serving her needs by resting is a very important job indeed :)
