The Perfect Egg

As I was making eggs, sunny side up i realized that I almost always break the yoke when I try to turn the egg to soon. I get impatient and think surely the yoke must be ready by now. And quickly I flip it and the yoke has broken.But today I waited. And perfect egg yoke! Not 1 broken.
How many times have we tried to rush God or rush what we want only to find it's not God's time yet. And sometimes we end up broken. Like the broken egg, our impatience can make quite the mess!
And don't get me wrong. The egg tastes "okay". But had I waited the egg would be full of yoke and rich with flavor. God doesn't just want us to settle for "okay" in our lives, He wants the best for us. He wants our lives to be rich and full of flavor- not just "okay".
Today, if it's not yet time to flip the egg, just wait. It will be time and if you wait patiently on the Lord He will make you a perfect egg!!

Life Is A Gift, Enjoy it!

I had been given a chocolate espresso candy from a friend. She got it from the Broadmoar, so it was very special! And it was too cute to eat!! So I put it in my drawer and saved it for about a week. And then I said to myself, why am I saving this gift just to look at? Why not enjoy the gift. So I ate it and truly enjoyed it!! My grandmother use to wrap everything in plastic that people would give her and put it away. She didn't want it to get messed up. But she never really got to enjoy those things. And now she's gone and those things she had been given have been sorted through and given away- but they were meant for her to enjoy.
Jesus has given us life as a gift. How many times do we just look at the gift from a distance- But never open it and enjoy?
Today, my prayer for you is that you would take this gift, this life that God has given us and truly enjoy it!! Don't waste one more day not wanting things to get messed up! Just go out and enjoy it!!
