And now, for something completely different
This isn't going to be a long post, I just want to share a verse that I really think God is giving me for this time of growth and change.
"Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer." -- Proverbs 30:25
An ant doesn't have a lot of ability. Sure, he can lift 20 times his own body weight, but he has the brain with 1/40,000th the amount of brain cells, and he only lives 45-60 days.
I may not be able to lift something that weighs 3700 pounds, but I've got a way bigger brain, and I'm going to live about 420 times longer than an ant will. (YAY math. I didn't think I'd get to use math, I'm excited now.)
God is calling me to be faithful in the little that I have, just like an ant is faithful in the little that he has. I may not make a lot, but I DO make money. I may not be really talented, but God HAS given me talent in certain areas.
I'm going to start saving, and being responsible with my money above and beyond my weekly tithe and offering (right now I'm saving 25% of the money I make, I hope to change my habits so I can save even more!)
I have 200 pesos (20 dollars) saved right now, but I just started today. I'm going to be faithful with the little I have (money, time, talent, etc.,) and I'm going to trust that God will bring bigger and better things my way.
We're creatures of little strength, but God has given us big ol' brains, and a long time to learn!
