I'm Wide Awake... No More SNOOZE button

As I drove my bright green John Deere riding lawnmower to my neighbor's house, I could only imagine how long it would take me to plow through all the weeds that had grown the past few weeks. "I'm gonna be here for a while!" I thought to myself. I slowly moved from overgrown flowerbed to overgrown flowerbed, picking out all the weeds that had consumed the mulch. I threw them out into the path of my lawnmower. "I can't WAIT until this is done!" I was really ready to see the yard back to normal and not a jungle...

I watched the mower as it hacked away at the ridiculously overgrown weeds. I began to think. "I have let weeds grow in my life right now." This hit me so hard. I felt like my neighbors lawn, just waiting to hear the rumble of that John Deere engine! I needed to be cut down. To realize that my purpose is to serve God. But I have let my attitude get in the way. I have been rude and unkind to my family and I needed to be cut down to the ground and start over.

Now I am WIDE AWAKE and serving God to the best of my ability whether it is through mowing my neigbor's lawn or simply being kind and loving to my family. I can't hit the SNOOZE button anymore...
