From the book "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge: Page 208, "Tammy became a worshiper, and her life of pouring her adoring devotion onto Jesus has become a beacon and a call to countless women to do the same."
This really spoke to me, especially since the name is the same. My core desire is to share the love of Jesus. My focus keeps ending up in the wrong place. I have fears of opening up and sharing what I feel inside; freely expressing my love for God. So, I try to do it through my "works". I focus so hard on doing my best and worrying about what others will think. I am always looking for something to do; kids church, kids choir, teach kids in BSF, adult choir, outreach activities, but what ends up happening a lot of the times is I get overwhelmed and stressed out. I end up not enjoying some of those activities because I am trying to hard. God wants me to do those things, but he wants me to enjoy doing them because I am doing them for Him. My focus just needs to be on my love for God and His love for me, the rest will fall into place. Life can truley be that simple; Love God and receive His love back. Trust Him to have control and everything will fall into place. I don't need to try so hard.
