Why do we do what we do?

I've been thinking about this lately. I think God works in and through me despite my motive. But am I experiencing everything he has for me, if I fill my time doing things rather than being obedient. If someone asks me what I did today and I answer " I prayed and read my Bible. Can I be content with that and see it for what it is. Or do I feel the need to say "I helped someone or shared with someone " or did something that in the eyes of others was really important?
Yesterday at the Cadereyta, another staff person told me that he was asked to pray for someone. He was in the middle of an action and almost found himself saying " In a minute, please". As if anything could be more important than taking time to lift something up to God. Lord, I feel convicted of my time and not looking to you on how to spend it. Have you spent a morning, a couple of hours during the day or maybe He is calling you to take a day or weekend to be with Him. Not doing anything, just being with your Lord and Savior. I know I am. "Be still and know that I am God. "

Hey Cathy,
i didn't know about this blog until I was looking under Paul's "favoite list", so glad i found it. It was fun looking at all your picutures and reading about what you are doing and how God is working.You look like you are in your glory! So cool to see you obedient to Christ, I'm sure this is quite an adventure! And happy anniversary! The years go by, but they certainly get better don't you think? You all look so sun kissed! Must be nice to have summer all year round. I took some time out to pray for you and your minstry and I'll have to keep checking on this blog on a regular basis. All for now!
