Made for More

Most Saturday mornings I go to a spin class. I love it when Ira teaches spin. He usually brings his laptop and projector and plays music videos. Today he just played them before class started and for the cool down. While watching the video below during cool down I had to catch myself so I wouldn't burst out in tears. I was proud of myself for getting through spin, inspired to keep at it, and just overcome with emotions. This video also reminded me that I am made for more than the day to day of life that I get caught up in. I believe that we all have purpose. I usually struggle with this because I feel it has to be something huge. The truth it, little things are huge.

Matthew 25:35-40 (Student Life Application Bible, New living translation.)
For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me. Then these righteous ones will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' And the King will tell the, 'I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,* you were doing it to me!' 

This video reminded me of my trip to Kenya back in 2004. The way they are dancing reminded me of how the children were trying to teach me to dance. 

We went to Kenya in support of the missionaries that live there permanently. They were building a school.

They had several teams that would help them do certain things for the school. Our team helped to build the benches that would go inside. 

This was a lifetime experience that I am so glad I was able to do. I'm just wondering why I stopped with Kenya? Why didn't I bring that home with me? 

Lord, I'm sorry if I redirected the path and the plans you had for me. Help me to be more like you and help the least of us. Wherever or however that may be.
