Available to God

I've been hearing lots of discussion amongst the moms around here about what following Jesus wholeheartedly means for our lives. I have often wrestled with thoughts about this. Jesus gives the Great Commission and doesn't make an exception for moms but there is such a desperate need (and command) for us to be home investing in our kids. What is the balance? Are we just to fulfill the Great Commission with our little lost kids or are we to be involved with reaching the rest of the world? Are we involved through prayer or out there sharing the gospel? One thing I've been thinking about is that I can't determine what I should be doing with each day without God's help because there are so many good options. I need His wisdom. I have to be dependent on Him. Tom and I love this teaching by Ian Thomas called 'Available to God' that talks about letting the spirit direct your life moment by moment with the expectation that he will do amazing things because it is Him living through you. It's 36 minutes long. http://www.path2prayer.com/article.php?id=615
