Cultivating faithfulness

I have a tendency to get a bit antsy.  This week I've been asking the Lord, "WHERE DO YOU HAVE ME?  WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?"  Just like that, in all caps.  The Lord has placed desires in my heart that I know He will one day fulfill.  One of those desires is to bring His love and light to children in Latin America.  And because I don't see any progress toward that desire being fulfilled I think I'm doing something wrong.  The Lord spoke to me these verses:

"Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.  Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will do it... Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him...Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing." Psalm 37:3-8

My calling is to trust in the Lord.  Period.  Jesus is my Lord and I will follow Him.  So, right now, what I'm doing with my life is trusting in the Lord and doing good, dwelling in Dahlonega, Georgia and cultivating faithfulness while working on the Chestatee River.  I am to love my roommates, love my coworkers, and do my job to the glory of God.  It's no big thing... But actually it is because it is cultivating faithfulness.  Cultivating an attitude that says, "Yes, Lord" to whatever the Lord brings, whatever the Lord calls me to.
