I don't usually have Mondays...

...but today was definitely a Monday! To start...I knew that I was covering for Mandy's show today so that was not a big surprise. I had a last minute reschedule for a meeting so that freed up a bit of time. I wanted to have some egg nog coffee since watching Iron Chef America last night, but they did not have any at Joe Muggs Coffee, so I settled for a Pumpkin Latte instead. It was real good...and I enjoyed some quiet "me" time (for the record that happens only every so often).

I did manage to get a bit of my "never gonna happen" book started today while I was sipping on my coffee and I managed to get some of the BNI work done that needed to get done today. OK...BNI...that is Business Networking International. I love to network & I love people, so it's a great marriage for me and business. I am part of a new chapter that was started a few months ago and I am so glad that we are growing fast! Ok...sidetracked...sorry.

So my Monday continues as a path of missed phone calls and missed opportunities to meet up with some people that I really need to meet up with. So what was God trying to tell me today? I do know that I have been begging for some quiet time, with just me and God, and I do believe that he gave me that today. It was nice to slow down and just focus on the book and to catch up on some needed organization.

With that...one of my calls was to reschedule my estimate for my tile. I may get the tile in my bathrooms tiled next week...MAYBE...and I may even get the painting started, we'll see how that goes. I sometimes wonder why I am even doing all this home renovation stuff...outside of the fact that I need flooring in my house and the walls are so tore up w/ nail marks that I need a fresh coat of paint, but really I am content w/ my home...it's temporary.

Now my Monday continues with CHILD DRAMA!!!! My youngest is definitely ADHD and it is showing in his math tests. He should be at and 80% but he is only at 40%. Now I am not caring that he is not at 80 because he is improving each week, but I know that the teacher is a bit upset because it reflects on her class. I just tell him to do his best. We are doing what we can, naturally, to keep him focused, and I'm sure that it will get better.

To wrap up my never ending day...choir practice was a bust so to speak and I just finished up with the music for the month of December about 45 minutes age...what a day & tomorrow will be just as crazy, but I'll save that for tomorrow!

~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
