Do You Have a Low View of Service?

The other night, during dinner, I was walking around getting people things. 

The other people in my family were eating dinner. 

I checked my heart and my thoughts. It's easy for resentment to flicker up like a flame at times like that.

How do you feel in moments like that?

Jesus was so so clear that those highest and most useful in the Kingdom are those most at peace with service. 

When I am in the Spirit, service is joy.

However, that's not how I always feel about it. Sometimes I lose track of that truth. 

This really matters! I need to be able to serve my family joyfully. 

In my experience, it's impossible without doing things that bring me delight every day. I started by making a list of twenty things that bring me joy, and then have refined from there. These days, I have three things built into each day, and then organically "find" many many more throughout my day.

However, like we said on the Monday night gathering call last night, which you can watch the replay of in the free facebook community (look under the featured tab), being in community with other women who speak life is an absolutely indispensable piece. Reading this email is a good start. 

I'd love to chat with you this week about your next steps for living more joyfully as a wife and mom. You can schedule your free call here.

More soon,

Lucy
