I don't know what my title has to do with anything that happened today! I just had that little song running through my head when I started this though. I will admit I have a tendency towards daydreaming. I dream about all the things I should and could be doing and how I could be doing them and then I have a hard time following through. I realized the other day that it's because I have a terrible fear of screwing up and failing. Maybe one of these days I'll be brave enough to share my journalling on that topic, but not yet.
I read the first chapter of Mark this morning (between cleaning Josh's glasses and helping him find his coat so he wouldn't miss the bus). I also read the introduction to the book before I read the actual scriptures too. It never occurred to me how excited Mark is to tell the story of Jesus. He just dives right in and lets you know that this guy is for real! And his enthusiasm never wanes throughout the entire book. Oh for an exictement like that about Jesus! I sometimes am so surprised about how excited I can get about going on a vacation, watching a new movie, or waiting for the next Harry Potter book to come out but when it comes to getting excited about my prayer time and my quiet time or even going to church some days.......boy is that enthusiasm lacking! Maybe that's why the Lord led me to that particular place today. He wanted me to learn to get even more excited about him like I do about the other things in my life.
*My prayer today is that I work towards being a Mark. I want to be excited about Jesus ALL the time and want to tell the world because I just can't contain myself!
