The sermon in church this morning was one I kind of "GOT" - it stuck with me all day and I've been puzzling. The priest remarked that we are all "called" by God during the course of our lives. He likened it to having a cell phone. We all know who is calling on the cell phone and can choose to either answer or not answer at that moment. The same is true of God. He will call on us and whether we answer or use caller ID to ignore him is of our own choosing. I thought to myself, well if God is using cell phones now, He probably missed me because I never have my phone on and then he didn't leave a voice mail. Then I thought what the heck would I do if I picked up the phone and God said, "Hey, Adrienne, it's me God. Just wanted you to know I need to call you to do more of my work down there on earth."? I'd probably hang up and call him a nut job.
I do feel like I'm so busy that I miss God's call a lot. I know He called me to be a Mom and some days I do better at that than others. I know He called me to be a wife and I'm thankful for that. But, I know he has called me to do more and I've ignored it because I don't have time, I don't have the money, I don't trust or know the person in need. I guess I hope He doesn't just hang up on me and quit calling. I Suppose, I had better turn my cell phone on so I can be ready - chargin' up! Catch'n a signal, waiting for a ring, next time I'm going to answer - so watch out Lord, cause this time I'm not missing a thing!
