Today I woke up with a to do list a mile long (which I think that I add stuff to it when it gets under 2 pages). I have been asked several times I should share my life/story. I don’t feel that I am different than anyone else. We have amazing days, hard days, trying times, times to rejoice, sad situations, happy memories and we are not any different than anyone else. I do feel that I don’t take time for myself and just to watch and take notes of things that have happened in my life and you can say it is just life but I tend to feel that everything that happens in my life is a “God Thing”. I think that is what gets me through day to day. Anyone who knows me knows that I work all the time. I love what I am doing and completely believe that God has put me in my position that I am in now and everyday even though it is sometimes hard I am going to make the best of what he has given me and everyday I feel blessed that he has given me the skills that I have. I have worked hard but he has opened doors for me that I can’t even explain.
Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat and felt horrible. I woke up for an hour or so and then went back to bed and slept til 1pm and then my amazing husband brought me breakfast in bed. I felt awful and laid on the couch all day. (1st day off in months and sick ~ what the heck?). I slept all day and I guess you could say really relaxed. I woke up this morning feeling better and refreshed. I sometimes go so many different directions that I know God sometimes says slow down and smell the roses (or in my case I couldn’t smell anything). Man I guess I needed that. Do you ever feel overwhelmed and wiped out and then just in the nick of time something happens and you take a step back without planning it. God is still with us when we’re sick and look at the day that I had yesterday I should rejoice…. I got breakfast in bed. I slept til 1pm, I enjoyed a few tv shows and relaxed all day. Granted my head felt like it was going to explode and my throat was killing me but man did I enjoy that day God gave me to step back and relax – Something I don’t do ~ EVER.
I woke up this morning and decided to start a blog ~ No not a blog for my business I know shocking something just for me and not my family, husband or business ~ but of my journey in life. I love to watch what God does in my life and that relationship I have with him is like no other that I have. I often find myself talking to him all the time. Out loud when no one is around and quietly when there are people around. I believe that everything that happens you can look at it with a “why me” attitude or you can believe that its in Gods Plans. I don’t make the right choices that I know he has planned for me but I will say that everyday I try. I have made so many WRONG choices in my life BIG BIG mistakes but I can tell you that when I have made those choices he is right there to catch me when I fall. He is there to give me peace when I feel there is no way out and he has righted my wrongs numerous times.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me: he delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:4
but here is the before and after of that verse because I have been taught that you don’t pick out a verse and read it you read the entire before and after so that it puts the 1 verse into perspective and his meaning not ours.
2 My should shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces wee not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD excampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good: seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hearth, and delivereth tim out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Psalms 34: 2-19
