"Well done, good and faithful servant!"

It is a constant worry of mine that I am not meeting my potential. I worry that I am not a good enough wife, mother, and worker. One of my greatest fears is to learn that I have failed someone that I love. I guess that it is time for me to realize and accept the fact that I am only human.

I think that I am getting closer to accepting that others don't expect 100% perfection from me. I spent today working with a heart surgeon that is know for his short temper and split-personality. We replaced our patient's mitral valve. At the end of the case, the surgeon look over to me and said that I did an amazing job and that he gave me the grade of 100. If this had happend yesterday, I would have screamed with excitment. However, as soon as I heard the words that I normally long to hear, I immediately started to think of how much I want to hear those words from God when I get to Heaven.

"His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"

*Matthew 25:21

The lightbulb finally came on for me! As long as I am truly living my life for God, everything else will fall in place. I am so excited to live the rest of my life letting God live through me. After all, it isn't my life to live but His.
