Reflection

It is a bit cliche, but I have found myself in a frenzy of thoughts in reflection of 2014. It has been quite a heavy year. It is packed with firsts, lasts, and forevers. 

God has taught me so much about myself in a years time. Some of which I've learned the hard way (being a newlywed and all), others I learned in a delicate and sweet manner. If I have to pick one thing that I'm so glad that I'm starting to learn it would be being a servant.

Ironically, being something I needed to work on, I've recently been surrounded by so many people who (in my eyes) are true servants of others. They serve people in a pure, gentle, graceful sort of way with no questions asked and no expectation set. I can't honestly say that is how I serve. When I saw these beautiful women and their merciful hearts I couldn't help but want what they had.

I laid in my bed one night and stared in the dark space above me pondering what I was feeling. I knew that I wanted to be a better wife, employee, I eventually want to be a great mother. I know in order to accomplish any of those tasks I need to be more like christ in the area of serving. With His help, I know my heart will be continually transformed. If the Lord of all creation humbled himself to be a servant of all, who I am to be exempt.

"Who, being in very nature God, 
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 
rather, he made himself nothing
being made in the human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, 
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - 
even death on a cross!"
Phil 2:6-8
