choose?
im scrolling and scrolling
as if the list never ends.
and it doesn't.
their face will be mine for a while--
online, anyway.
but how do i choose
e pleribus unum?
and there ARE so many,
whom we shouldn't forget.

God's Will in the Little Things

I get days when I feel like God's just leading me around by the hand (or by the ear), helping me do His will.

Today was one of those days, because, before today, I was freaking out about having enough supplies for my pro-life display at a 5k this evening.

The final product was exactly what it needed to be, and I knew that God had taken it into His own hands. This was apparent to me because hardly anybody asked for or would receive any of the variety of pamphlets I had scraped together.

But I could tell that people were aware of our presence, and taking in the information written on our signs, and experiencing some kind of effect when they saw our pro-life banner.

God used my presence as a pro-lifer just the way He wanted to.

I hope I can always try to be receptive of His lead, and it's easy to do when you don't let your anxieties get in the way.
