the lawn mower

I am washing my push lawn mower and realize if it could tell a story this is what it might say.

I require maintenance, I require to be started , I require to be push/pulled/ primed/ oiled, and engry juice in my tank. Before I can go cut a path or follow the path I am being directed. I even must be stored properly ( out of the storms).

my life is a push mower. i can't be the riding mower, I am not even the self propel mower. Yep I am the push mower.

I make a name for myself by the path I make and others even know me by a name. I eveny the beautiful yards and the perfect homes, but I know my limits and I am set to do the small jobs.

I like that I am green it reflects Gods nature and the refelction of he very path I seek.

My life will eventually stop as will the push mower, but the green will live for ever and ever.

I can leave the path 2 inches cut or waiste deep for others to follow.

Can you be a mower?

The Limited

It concerns me when I look at the sin of another and know God desires so much more for that person. I want to place a Limit on the poor choice and let them know this is who you are right now and this is what you can choose to safely do.

Why would I label it "The limited"? Simple you know what is to far when you know what your boundry is.

I myself have been looking @ my personal and professional goals, it is making me realize that I know whom I am and clearly understand when I am changing.

My choice of a career in nursing has been rewarding and I love almost all of it, but when it clashes with my love for God I must know and recognize "The Limited".

This week I was looking at some choices and realize I could have helped some indigent persons and choose a safer choice for my career. What that meant to me was I choose a career over my Love for God. In one simple choice I became burdened that God knew this and scolded me to the point that I was sad.

I Sandy became the person "The Limited". I realize what I can dabble with and what I can not touch. I can dabble with choosing to make alot of money but I must choose to take care of others with that choice,it can not be about me.

I was passed for a promotion this week and know it was because God was giving me the signs to say you are " The Limited". I can not work with the corporate world and follow my heart for others.

I want others to realize that a choice of defying God is a choice you will acknowledge eventually.
