Are we making a difference?

As I have been reading all the blogs I am so impressed with the triumphs that you have overcome and how God is working in each of your lives. I think we can all agree that Satan is on edge and is going after everyone trying to make each of us fail at what we have set out to do. But with encouragement from each other, and thru time in serious prayer we are still standing strong. I just wanted to say after last nights service I am finding myself really questioning if I am trying to make a difference. I think we all "want" to make a difference. We all want to be loved and appreciated but are we really "trying" to make a difference in others lives? I have found a challenge to add to my 30 day revolution. I truly do want to make a difference in the lives around me, including my family, friends and the strangers that I come in contact with everyday. We belong to each other, and we need each other! Thanks K.C. for reminding me of that. I think of how I respond to my children or my husband when they do things that are not pleasing to me, or how at work I get so frustrated with my associates who would rather goof off than do the things that are so obvious to me that needs to be done. And then I am quickly reminded of how God must feel about myself and when I am not doing things that are correct and how much patience He has with me. I am going to start investing myself into each of these situations, and each of their lives so that I can make a difference. We also talked about dreams last night and though I expressed my dream to succeed in something other than a retail career, I think God has placed us in "this" moment to be effective and to make a difference in "these" peoples lives. I think after really thinking about what my personal dream is (and its probably very close to yours), it is really to hear from our heavenly Father "Well done good and faithful servant." Won't that be soooo good to hear...
