"The Best Way Out Is Always Through"  Robert Frost

Facing reality isn't always easy.   But it is wise to look at the problem objectively, intelligently, and then act.  Problems don't get better on their own.  Sonner is better when you need to figure something out.

When looking at a problem objectively and intelligently the very first thing you need to do is pray!!  You need to step back and ask God to show you  the way to go.   God will guide you and He will be there with you as you go through the problem.   But you need to go through.   Don't stop in the middle keep going.   Stopping is not going to do a thing for you.   If you stop in the middle or just towards the end you are getting through and you are staying behind.   There we go again living in the past and not in the moment.  

The second thing you need to do is organize your thoughts.   You need to know ahead of time what you are going to do or say.   You never want to just jump right in.   That is not a wise move at all.   Have you ever said something that you know you should never have said?    Have you ever started to do something to get out of a jam and then realized you forgot a small detail that stops everything right in their tracks?    If you would have organized your thoughts things would not have been said or done that were not good.

Now you are ready to act.   You put it all into motion and you do it.  This could be something that you do in just a few moments or something that you do over time.  

I pray that everyone that reads this has a blessed day and knows the love of our Lord and Savior.

"To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle"  Walt Whitman

Live each hour of light with depth, concentration and focus.  Welcome darkness for dreams and rest.  

 Do you need to rethink your daily schedule?   Are you spending the hours of light with depth?   Are you concentrating on the important things in life?   Are you spending your light hours focusing on what is important?  

Are you spending enough time in the light hours in prayer and learning God's word?   If currently you are spending 15 minutes a day in prayer and reading of the Bible,  why not add 5 minutes more.   Increase your time.   You don't have to increase by a whole lot over night.   When I first started a serious prayer and scripture life I would only spend about 15 minutes a morning.    Now I am up to an hour and half each day.   I am not saying that you have to do the same.   It is truly and individual choice and what God is leading you to do.   If you say that you do not have the time, why not try getting up a little earlier.    My personal choice is first thing in the morning after everyone leaves the house.     I don't like to start my day without that time.    I do pray that I will soon be able to crawl out of bed before everyone else and have that time while the rest of my family sleeps.   I just have not managed that one just yet.    You can have your "quiet time" at night if mornings are to hard for you.    But I can guarantee that you will find your days and your life will change so dramatically if you take the time to spend your day in prayer and in God's word.  

Are you spending enough time in your light hours to take care of your home?    As a woman you are responsible for keeping up the home.   I am not saying you can't delegate tasks.   But you are ultimately responsible for taking care of the home.   

So think about your schedule and where your priorities are.   Change what needs  to be changed.   Pray about and let God direct your day.

I saw this picture and thought what a neat idea!   Get a few of those wonderful looking bottles, fill them with water and food coloring and place them on a windowsill that gets the morning light.  A rainbow every morning!!

I was not allowed off the couch long enough to get any pictures of Jared yesterday .   I have such a wonderful loving husband..he watched over me like a hawk all day.  

He is letting me go to church this morning, but I have to stay seated...I am not even allowed to get up for Communion.   They will bring it to you, so you are to stay seated..according to Scott!!!   Right after church service I have a quick meeting to go to about the group of us that are going to Women of Faith next week.   I can not wait to go,  I am looking forward to it.   We leave Friday and come back Saturday night.  

Attitude!   Have you taken the time to think about your attitude?   What is your attitude about the things you do?  "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."  Colossians 3:23 This verse alone should help you change your attitude.   I remember reading somewhere, I believe one of my Emilie Barnes books, that if you grumble about making your husband's lunch for work every day, think of it as making lunch for Jesus himself.   So even if you are at a job that you do not like, that you do not want to be at..change your attitude and do the work as if you are doing it for the Lord.   When the time is right, God's time that is, that job will change, and your reward will be so great!!  If you are a stay at home mom, you are doing the Lord's work.   Your job is to raise your children to love and worship the Lord.   You are to provide a home of peace, a place that is a sanctuary from the outside world.   Do that job with all your heart!!   It's all about ATTITUDE  So change yours today.

I pray that everyone that reads this has a blessed day and knows the love of our Lord and Savior.
