On my "Praying Bones" ?

As many of you know I work for Redbox. I am a merchandiser, which means I load new releases, take out old dicsc, change artwork and clean the kioks in Hamilton County. Typically, I have to get down on my knees to pull discs out of the machine. SO last week, as I was down on the floor of Meijer, with my head in the kiosk, an elderly gentleman walked past me, looked down and said to me, "looks like you're on your prayin' bones". I quickly responded, "Yes...I guess I am."

The sound of his voice and my quick response echoed in my thoughts for hours. You see, latley, I have been feeling like my job is not making a kingdom difference. I am away from my children more than I "should be", stressed out to meet dealines so that when I am with them I am exhausted and out in "the world" were it is sometimes hard to remember my God designed purpose.

The reality of this kind gentleman's statement caused me to ask myself,
"Am I on my prayin' bones enough?"

There is a humbling when you are on your knees as the world walks past you...there is a submissiveness and vulnerability when you are on your knees.

Here is how I have been challenged...maybe the kingdom difference God is causing right now is IN me...maybe He wants me to remember that His purposes for me come after I am humble, submissive and vulnerable to my God and Him alone. Maybe...
