God makes me special

I love being a wife and a mother, and I realize how blessed I am to be able to stay home with my children. But, sometimes I come to points in my life where I wonder, if this is all I am supposed to be doing. Am I fulfilling my purpose, am I using the gifts and talents God has given me to the best of my ability. And then, what are my gifts and talents that I'm supposed to using? Sometimes, I can get caught up in looking at the calling on the lives of others and tend to feel I don't measure up. I think, What is it about me that makes me special, what is it about me that the world needs that someone else can't give?! The other night as I was reading God's Word I stopped for a minute and asked, "God, what makes me special?" And in an almost immediate respose He said, "I make you special". Wow!! Again, I am reminded how quickly you can get so focused on yourself and others and off of Jesus. I am nothing and can do nothing without Him! My calling and destiny isn't something that needs to be found or figured out, it's something that I'm living daily, no matter where I am or what I'm doing! I'm so thankful for God's unending paticence and grace. I am so thankful that He never tires from answering the questions of my heart. I am so grateful that all he calls me to do is keep my mind fixed upon Him and He will faithfully lead me the rest of the way.
