Back when I created this new blog I thought I would all of a sudden want to post a lot and be inspired to do so all the time. And I felt that way... for a few days.
Yet I know why I'm not here, the distractions, the busyness, the things occupying my mind. I know where my focus hasn't been. And where it needs to be.
Work was really busy for the month of June, I soared at work and by the end of the month I had a lot of people telling me "well done"... I managed something quite large during the LPGA. And as much as I gave the credit away - to my awesome staff, my "right hand" Lynne, who was endless help, and all of the other support & resources I had, people kept bringing it back to me, but I knew it wasn't me at all. It was Him.
By His grace I did well, I didn't fail, I was the "rookie" and I want God to get the glory...
At work on Thursday during a staff meeting/celebratory lunch (yay we survived the LPGA), we watched a video called "Celebrate What's Right in the World", by Dewitt Jones. It was an inspirational video about seeing the good around us, looking at situations differently, having the right perspective, etc. One thing he said stuck out: It's not about being the best in the world, but being the best for the world.
It got me thinking about what God calls us to. I don't want to be someone great in the world... someone who rises to the top to be on the top. I want to be someone great for the world and for God, not myself.
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" Psalm 46:10
