When I Wear Red

Posted in A Day In The Homeschool Life

This morning I got out a red top to wear.  It never fails.  When I wear red I think of my gramma, a gorgeous 80+-year old woman whose favorite color was red.  Not a muted burgundy, not pink, RED.  Bright red.  Bold red.  The kind of red that shouts "Here I am world!"

Gramma was that kind of spunky, funny, faith-filled woman I aspire to be.  She left behind some very big, size 5, candy-apple red pumps for me to fill.

She was not always confident in her own abilities, but she was always confident in the abilities of her Lord.  And when she left this world she was leaning on him still.

When I wear red I am feeling a little bolder, a little more daring, a little more fun than other days.  I'm feeling SELF-confident, but I must always remember that my daring and abilities are insignificant; my plans, inconsequential.  I have to remember to be GOD-confident.  Anything I am is because of Him.

Wear red today.  Be bold today.  Be GOD-confident today.

Amen and amen! It really is not about us - it's about Him and His plans for our day. I need to remember that as I go about my daily work because there are times I am rushing through so quickly, depending on my own abilities to make this happen or make that happen, but the truth remains that no matter WHAT I do or accomplish, it's all Him anyway. Not one molecule will be moved apart from His hand. So I may as well slow down and enjoy the day. Thank you for posting this - good reminder.
