let's take action.

ahh this is for my saturday blog! it's 4:35 am right now but it still counts.. right?

so i was talking to my mom today on the phone. we do this once in a while... just spend a couple hours talking and catching up.

she was telling me one of her concerns.. with everything that she's been going through, her focus from church was lost in the air. being a pastor's wife,, she's got a lot of responsibilities.. it's tough. you have to be strong in order to be one of those and i can honestly say that i learn the most from her.

but anyway... one of the things she was telling me tonight was how everything she has been doing outside of church was not beneficial to her spiritual being, nor was it beneficial to our church's well being. not that she was doing anything horrible or anything... it just wasn't helpful at all.

she realized all this after she came back from korea and it hit her how she needs to act upon it. so since then.. she's been trying to fully devote her spare time visiting other church members and praying at church.

but the thing is........ she acknowledge the effort that she was lacking and actually DID something about it. i'll be the first to raise my hand and admit that when it comes to working with God and His people, i have a hard time taking action.

first, i prayed.. thanking my Father in heaven for blessing me with such an amazing mom.
second, i asked Him to help me to be strong like she is.
and third, i told God that i want to get up on my feet and take action and stop bumming around.

idk. it's another one of those things where if we alll pitched in, stopped focusing on ourselves and took action, how amazing would the unity be within the church? i really wanna find out
