Landon's still recovering from a cough/cold he's had for a week now... So he and I are at home while Chad and Ty are at church... well until we meet up with them for the 11:00 and Landon gets to go to big church with us :)
It's nice to be at home on a Sunday morning with him, not rushing around hurrying to get to church to serve at the 9:00 service and just be able to sit and spend time with the Lord before heading to church. Don't get me wrong, I love serving, love seeing my third grade girls in small group during Flight School and interacting with them but these Sundays are nice every once in a while.
I was just reading a day out of The Daily Message (trying once again to read through the bible in a year!) and I'm in Genesis where it talks about God testing Abraham and asking him to go to the mountain top to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham so faithfully does what God asks of him and just seconds before he's about to kill his son he hears the heavens shout out to him to stop. Can you imagine?! I know I can't... as I sit here and read that while listening to Landon jibber jabber in his highchair and eat his snacks... I can't imagine doing that... God blessed Abraham a hundred-fold thereafter knowing that Abraham was willing to give his son, to be obedient and do whatever God asked of him...
It just makes me wonder how many times God has tested me... and how many times I've said no or just ignored hearing something from him.
How many opportunities/blessings have I missed out on?
I am praying that I will willingly say yes to whatever God asks of me... praying that I am open to listen to whatever He says to me and do what He calls me to do.
