Shine Again: Brain Drain

Brain Drain

"My brain hurts, " Joseph declared during dinner. I thought nothing of it because he did do a lot of thinking today.

He did design Chocolate Factory prototype #12,

ponder why the silver nitrate stopped growing around this coil,

create his very own Wall-e,

work for hours at his computer,

and flip through these science magazines.

Then I touched his head to discover he has a 102.5 temperature. No wonder his brain hurt.

"...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complain- ing or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing...." Philippians 2:12b-16

I often want to be the one to do big things for God. This verse reminds me that it is in doing the small things well and without complaining that I can be most useful to Him. So when I'm taking care of the sick and sweeping up the floor again and just got sauce on my only white shirt and somehow managed to drop a box of crayons down the dryer vent and my friend is hurting and my child is frustrated with school and I really don't feel like I can answer one more question.... I remember that this is my time to SHINE AGAIN.
