this isn't something i envisioned ever putting on my blogs (quotes), but i'm reading a book called "the rest of God" by mark buchanan and it's rocking my world. so i wanted to share a quote from the book by martin luther. this is for everyone out there (i know i'm not alone) who struggles with finding purpose through work, and struggling to know if they are honoring God with their toil.
"the maid who sweeps her kitchen is doing the will of God just as much as the monk who prays - not because she may sing a Christian hymn as she sweeps but because God loves clean floors. the Christian shoemaker does his Christian duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship."
my apologies for the delay. buy the book HERE
