Today I really let my hair down (metaphorically speaking). I had a fun time playing with the kids at the hotel swimming pool this morning. Our vacation has been a relaxing time as we've not driven very far in any one day, and we have had a late checkout at each of our hotel stays thus far. It's been nice not to have to worry about a schedule during this time.
Both my devotional and my scripture reading today dealt with the same kinds of things... Not worrying about what people think about you. Remaining obedient to God no matter what others may think or say about me is what I care to be concerned about.
My reading took me to Genesis, chapter 7. God instructs Noah to gather the animals into the ark and then Noah and his family. Once safely inside God shut the door. All the many years that Noah undoubtedly had to withstand ridicule and harassment, yet remained obedient to what God had instructed him to do.
Lord, may I remain true to the calling you have upon my life to love you, love my family, and to love all others you place in my life. Give me strength to serve without hesitation and to love unashamedly (is that a word?... I guess so since spell check didn't catch it!).
