Service in Honor of Christ

There is so much that i have to say..... I don't even know where to begin. First off i am really excited about this blog if nothing else i can one day look back and laugh at myself for all the crazy things that i did and said and another i will be able to look back and see growth in following Christ. I started this blog to document my journey with Christ in learning to serve others. But not just to serve others but to serve others with a humble heart and an attitude that glorifies God.
It is easy for me to say that i love to serve... that is when i am doing whatever i want. When i want to watch kids, help with this or that, or whatever else sounds good at the time. But what about the times when i am asked to serve but i don't really want to do it..... what about those time? God calls us to be Christ like and to live a life glorify God. Part of the life includes service. However God didn't include the exclusion rule, where if it is something you don't want to do then you don't have to. I have an undeniable desire to serve God in any way possible, even when it means doing things i don't want to do. I am learning that my heart must first be in the right place before i can begin to serve and then i must remember God at the heart of everything i do, and do my best to bring Him glory.
It can be hard for me in the pursuit of service to leave the glory and honor to God and not want to take it for myself. Thankfully God is such a loving and teaching God that He is humbling me one step at a time and more and more i am able to serve to His glory and honor not my own.
So if you are reading this please take a second to say a prayer for me that God may be glorified through my actions.
