What are you doing?

Our BooBear often asks, "Momma, what you doing?" Especially when it's bedtime and she's worried that she's missing out on something she says, "Momma, what you doing now?" This is an important faith question as well. Often we ask, "Where is God in your life?" or "What is God doing in your life?" Both of these questions put our lives at the center and God's presence is pushed in as it fits, hopefully conveniently within our plans and our life direction. Yet our God is so much bigger than just our lives or our family's lives or our congregation's lives. Perhaps a better question is: "What are you doing in God's life?" God's life surrounds us and we participate in GOD'S life, God's plan, God's work in our world. So, what part do you play in God's story in our world? What are you doing in God's unfolding plan? What are you doing in God's life today?
