An Undivided Mind

Teach me Your way, LORD, and I will live by Your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.
Psalm 86:11

This verse has been my theme lately. With three little ones, along with the adventures of life, I need to be spending more time with my Jesus. But somehow, I have less time... So I begin by asking God for an undivided mind, for my time praying and reading to be more efficient.

And while my time at home right now can seem so routine, some days not leaving my house, having my patience stretched farther than I thought possible, stepping on hundreds of army men, and pouring countless glasses of chocolate milk, this is what He's called me to do.

He's teaching this everyday girl that His power is manifested in my weakness. That while I think sometimes my work goes unnoticed and unrecognized and is unchanging, as I'm trying to teach and instill lifelong qualities like kindness, love, and humility, He is at work. He's changing me, and hopefully my children, to live a life of divine proportions.
