Collector of Quotes Three
From Small Simple Ways by Vinita Hampton Wright
Every day I am formed.
Situations...
Pressures within and without...
And my own fears and desires shape me.
Through conversations and mundane activities
Such as...
Commuting
and preparing a meal.
Much of my situation is already formed/fashioned.
For example - I am committed to a marriage and I am an employee.
Those two relationship form me, day in and out.
However, I can choose to include influences that help shape me into the image of God more fully.
I can pray.
I can engage in conversations that encourage.
I can keep learning.
I can share and shine my light in loving ways.
I can list right now the forces of my life and be honest about which form me into the person I want to be. (pg. 7)
That kind of prayerful activity might offer a trace of God's grace every day.
