NO FEAR!

So, I am making this a really quick post. Well, I guess we'll see. I can't really write a short post, but I suppose I'll try! It is late and I need to sleep, so I am trying to keep my priorities straight.

Like I have mentioned before, we move a lot and there always seems to be some sort of change going on in our life. My husband is pursing a new career and there are a few options that he is in the process of.


As I have also mentioned before, I am a total worrier. However, for some AMAZING reason (it is called the Lord) I am not fearful of what is to come. It is an incredible feeling. I don't think about it constantly and even if I do I am not worrying about it I am just thinking about it. It's great! I don't know that I have ever felt this way when dealing with change....or at least not for a VERY long time.

I am also excited about what is to come. And although I have been saying for years that all I want to do is settle down where we are. I am now looking forward to whatever change is coming. Even if that requires moving...ahhh, I can't believe I just said that! Oh the craziness! I thought I never wanted to move again after this last time. After all it has been what, 8 or 9 moves in 7 and 1/2 years. WOW.

So, that is my short, but sweet post.
Whatever is to come, I have NMO FEAR baby!
I know the Lord has it in His hands and there is no reason for me to worry. What will it do to worry anyway? Just stress me out more and make my life unbearable. I will be angier and more anxious and unhappy.
Of course there will be spurts here and there where I know that I will be scared about things. Like when we figure out what is going to happen and where it will take us. But for the very most part I am not worrying.
Like I said before it is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY the LORD. His strength and His doing.
Just ask my husband.

"Therefore, do not worry about your life.." "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" "...Your heavenly father knows (what you need). But seek first His kingdom and His rightousness and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:25,27,32-34

Thought For The Day

"The most important thing that should totally absorb our lives down here is the practice of real love. Why? Because love lasts. Love will be the only thing that matters in eternity." -Jill Brisco


"Please help me to slow down and recognize what is of little value so that I can invest in people with immense value."


What will you do today? Spend time on "meaningless" tasks or spend time with others, investing in their lives. Tasks need to get down, but when they become all that we do and all that we are we have lost sight of what is most important. Texting, emailing, blogging, facebook, etc. do not constitute in "spending time with others." Talking on the phone can, but truly spending one-on-one time face to face with someone is priceless.

How will you spend your day? Will you take time out for others? Will you forgot those who are most important to you? Will you focus on "what needs to get done" and plow over everyone who gets in your way?

I know I am feeling convicted!

Peace to you today. Love and Blessings. Strength to you as go about your day.
Invest in what matters.
