Kick in the Butt

I was convicted tonight by friends who live out their faith in very tangible, miraculous ways. "Don't be a lazy Christian. Don't let the little pebbles in the way stop you from God's will. Don't wait for a "Yes." Instead, wait for God to say, "No." The truth in this conviction is palpable. The Bible tells us what to do as Christians. We, meaning me, find millions of ways to be so busy that we convince ourselves that we are doing God's work. How do I really know when my mission/calling is less spectacular than relief work in Haiti - raising my kids to know the Lord and working on being the wife that God wants me to be and going to work teaching kids every day? How do I know? How do I know what other path might be God's will when the other tasks take all my energy? I feel like I"m in the right place. At least, I'm happy with my life, really happy and grateful for all that I have. I have to pray to hear God's still small voice every day, every minute of every day... Dear Lord, hear my prayer.
