That my pastor Zack told us he picked up during our church sermon a few weeks back…the Spirit stirred him to pick up this Doritos bag while walking on our Nation’s capital and throw it away…He stated sometimes God puts a stirring in our soul to go back and pick up a Doritos bag in obedience to our Maker…

Ok… I can hear some of you thinking…ok… and…. Can I be honest I have not been able to get this visual out of my head… Like what if our impact for the kingdom of God would be something as simple as a Doritos bag… Like can you imagine if we just stopped and listened to the small stirring in our life? Like saying hi how are you to stranger… If anything that may be able to make them be seen… The obedience in something small could lead to a huge ripple effect… Like today as I was walking in the National mall and I could not ignore the small pieces of trash…

I felt the stirring to pick it up just like Pastor Zack had shared… I walked it to the trashcan laughing to myself thinking “look to serve and not be served”.. Jesus said he had come to serve and not be served… A voice from behind said “I saw what you did… thank you…” I looked behind me, “me?” She said “yes, I normally bring a bag with me but I forgot today…” I smiled and shared with her the story my pastor shared… She smiled… We chatted a little more about God’s faithfulness and how truly blessed we are…

One small ripple… Pastor Zack if you’re reading this, your stirring has caused a small stirring in my soul to continue to look for those small moments… To talk to a stranger about God’s faithfulness…. Friends, can I challenge you to be still and listen to a stirring God maybe putting in your life… You never know what kind of Kingdom work the Lord is calling you to… We may never understand on this side of heaven why we are called to do small things… I do believe God will show us how the small things turned into big things… I think there may be a lot of Doritos bag’s stories… God sees you and loves you…. A stirring is Holy no matter how small….
