Every year that I have participated in the March for Babies I tend to beat myself up for not making the top Family Team or for not getting as much money as a new team does.
This Sunday we were in Matthew 6:1-4 and the lesson was on giving. It states that we should give in private and not to expect anything in return for it. That as long as we are giving and keeping it between ourselves and God, we will receive our rewards in Heaven.
So, I am making a promise to myself that I am going to do everything I can in honor of my Nehemiah and the babies I walk for and I am not going to beat myself up for not being in the top. As long as I have my heart in it, then I am doing it for the right reason.
I will pray for my team though and for myself to do everything we can to help our community in the mission to fight prematurity and birth defects.
I will no longer be upset if I am not getting the exact support that other teams are getting or raking in the funds other teams get. Instead, I will hold my head high and be proud of myself and my team for what we have accomplished over the past 5 years.
This year, year 6, is going to be the best year, I just know it!
And all glory be to God!
