I am doing a good work

Some days just get mundane! I feel so useless sometimes like nothing I do matters. These feelings don't usually last very long here but I do have them.


SO, my question today is, "What is a good work?"


If I became President of the US or the "ONE" that finds the cure for cancer, did I do a good work. Why do our human eyes see things in such an odd perspective. Do I have to win a Nobel Peace Prize or "make it" on tv to have done a great work? I think not.


I, Christy Sharp, stay at home wife, homemaker, mom, homeschool teacher, comode cleaner, dish washer, clothes washer, floor sweeper, Bob petter, food cooker, bill payer, errand runner, computer player and God lover am doing a good work.



I dare say, that everyone that reads this is doing a good work too. Everyone is important. God just reminded me of that today. I wasn't struggling with it or anything. He just said, "Hey, Christy, my daughter, I love you and you are doing a good work." Thank you DADDY GOD! I sometimes forget that I do everything for the Lord.


One other part of this that God spoke to me years ago is about doing "good." In today's society, we tend to use bigger adjectives ~ awesome, wonderful, great, terrific ~ those are a few. When God made the earth and all that was in it, at the end of each day, he said it was good. So, my mind thinks that good is good enough. If the creator of the universe can make something out of nothing and it be good, then good is good enough for me. My good work may be different than someone elses good work. We all have to work good together to make life happen.


Also, my good work matters. It will make a difference and be completed. I may not be the one that does something that the world will see on tv. I may do my good work right here in my little piece of the world. It still matters and is still important! Daddy God chose me to do this work. Do I have proof? YEP,



Philippians 1:6

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)



6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.



I am off to do a good work!
