Day 6: mini muffins!

Day 6: Mini muffins? Who doesn't love a mini muffin? Just like a regular muffin but better because they are bite size and mess free and perfect for a last minute snack before church service. This morning as I was getting up and getting ready for church I made a plate full of mini blueberry muffins to take to church. We don't always have food it is just sometimes people bring snacks or something for us to snack on before service. It was a nice unexpected treat for all the people attending church this morning. And they were yummy if I do say so myself. At church this morning our pastor really got me thinking. The part that really triggered me was when he said "we are God's children and we have been sent to do his will". It kind of makes me think of when I was a kid and I was always trying to do good for my parents to make them proud. Like when you do good on a test and you want to hang it on the fridge to show everyone. Or when you conquer riding a bike and you are so proud of what you have learned. The first person you want to show is your parents. And they are so proud of you and your accomplishments. You know now that I think about it learning to be who God wants us to be is kind of like learning to ride a bike. At first you think I want to be a christian, I want to learn how to ride a bike. Then you try riding and you fall off over and over. You make mistakes and you think how am I ever going to get this right? God keeps telling me to do this and I keep messing up and falling off my bike. Then He sees that I need his help and his encouragement and he runs along side of my bike and picks me up. Oh my gosh! I am riding my bike. I thought I was going to fall but he caught me. He showed me that with his support and his encouragement that I can ride my bike. I can be a christian and be who He wants me to be. Is it hard? Absolutely! There will be days when we need prayers more than others. There will surely be days when you feel like your knee is skinned up but He is still there. He still loves you! This is what keeps me trying everyday to do something good for another person. I want to be the disciple that He wants me to be. If he says Krystle help that man, I want to follow his direction. If he says Krystle minister to that woman, I want to let his words pour out of my mouth in ministry. I want to be the christian He desires. I want Him to look down on me and pin my accomplishments up on his fridge. Please pray that I will continue to find new ways to help others in my community. And as always stay tuned for day 7.....
