A Hammer and Some Nails

With each passing day, we have been given the opportunity to do something great with the hours we have. We pack various activities into these hours, sometimes without any proper organization of any sort.

I have to admit I have been found wanting when it comes to organizing my time. I mean, I do get extremely busy many times (especially when I have to focus on forms that require filling because for every form I fill I usually make a mistake sometimes somewhere in the second to last line and have to do the crazy thing all over again). If one has a job usually some kind of organization takes place. We have to get there at a particular time (for me it is 8a.m.) Then there are particular hours of the day that have assigned activity. Interestingly, for a work day when I do not have a lot of unassigned activities, I tend to want to pack it up with all kinds of things to do and end up so tired at the end of it all.

One day perhaps all I will need to have in my hand is a hammer and some nails. Something needs to be patched up and I will have the correct tools to work with. I would hope that I have a lot of good experience with hammering nails. The right kind of word to be placed in the heart of someone so that they can survive and thrive in the next phase of their life.

I have often thought about my drive and desire to minister. I am not particular about titles or about stuff like that. I just want to be able to help others and help them through the wisdom of the Bible. When people require advice they want you to be qualified. I am not sure how qualified one can be about life in four years of university. It is assumed however.

The same "nail" when documented can also touch lives. I want that word to be written so someone can read it and see how they can approach certain events in life. A lot of research has to accompany that however. I think I have been quite lazy in terms of gathering information for one of my projects that I so want to complete.

Finally, since yesterday, twice it has come up in the literature that I read of being a letter read by men. Say, can my life be that "nail" that will allow others to get help in their own daily lives. That even though I have struggles on my own, I can plan out my days and even when I do not I can still live a fulfilling life anyway. Can I find it in a hammer and some nails?

(I see the need for modification--This blog is allowing me to get my thoughts in print and help me to work out scenes)
