Impactful

WOW-
2 statements that have made a huge impact on me lately are;1)Jesus can see through the crisis to the other side...& 2)The WILL of God will never take you where the GRACE of God will not protect you. Is that powerful or what??? For example: My husband & I just returned from the "Gateway to the West" and visited the arch. We saw a movie on how it was made and beginning in 1962 and ending 3 years later, those craftsmen never once wore a safety harness of any kind. It was unbelievable to watch- I was a nervous wreck for them. They were walking across beams over 630 feet in the air and if they fell, it was all over. Just like that, God protects us- But thank goodness that when we fall-because we all will at some point, He will catch us and put us right back up on that beam-with the wind blowing and all! It's comforting to know that even though he has given us the opportunity to choose to walk on high dangerous beams, He is still waiting there-like a safety net. Peace.



Have a great week!

Priorities

Holy Cow- Ever have a problem with putting your priorities in line??? I am a LIST girl!! I should've invented the post-its. I have to say that my mom taught me how to make lists. When done properly, they are very useful in clearing the mind so you can focus on a specific task. Ever sat down to do your quiet time and your head keeps reeling over what you need to do next. Sometimes its so bad that I just complete a task to check it off the list and it's not even quite done to the best of my ability. Ever been there?? I have learned not to put too much in one day- because if you overestimate what you can get done and aren't realistic, you get a big let down at the end of the day! Well, I can check "post on my blog" off my list- I've done it!! Maybe this was helpful to some and boring to others- but you know what?? It's done-

Ciao for now!
