A servant's heart....

So, I had been praying to have a servant's heart. I don't always serve very easily. Come live at my house if you don't believe me.

Anyway, I have been noticing more and more, not an eagerness to help out, or do anything, but a sort of willingness. I offer to do things more often, sometimes, I even unload the dishwasher without being asked! I was thinking today, that it's kind of crazy, mainly because I couldn't have done this by myself and that it is totally a God thing in changing my heart.

Which was interesting, because you know, they always tell you that in church. You can't change your life, God does that. Well woopdedoo.

I think, it might be true. =]

I was standing in the airport, and all of a sudden, well, it was more easily coming than 'suddenly.' It sort of washed over me. Whoa, God really does change us. There are things that I want to change in my life, I just have to make it a consistent thing in my prayer life, and no, it doesn't happen over night, but it happens. I couldn't have given myself a servant's heart. I could have forced my self to slap a smile on and do the dishes for my mom. But that isn't quite the same thing, is it?

Only God can change me. I just have to ask. And realize, that I really can't do anything on my own. I really can't. Which makes him that much more amazing.

Ayoo,
Sara
