How does she do it?

Have you ever watched a friend with awe, (or envy) as she seemed to juggle a million and one things and keep it all together? Do you find yourself thinking, "How does she do it?"

I know I've felt that way about many of my friends, and I've heard the same thought expressed about me. So yesterday I was chewing on that thought, and I came up with two possibilities. (There are probably more, but I could only think of two.) The first option is that it only LOOKS like the friend has it all together. But the better option is that she is doing EXACTLY what God made her to do. We are equipped for our own lives, not someone else's! So if you think, "There's NO WAY I could handle that!" (Whatever that is. ;)) It's probably because God didn't prepare you for that work. At least not yet! =)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
 

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
 

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8
 

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Colossians 1:9-10
