Today

In my readings this morning I read this "Bring those to The Lord today, and envision yourself as exactly what you are: the magnificent object of His great and enduring love."  Those can be defined as the doubts, fears that trip me up constantly.  Today I choose to focus on this, He who has made me has made me for a purpose of glorifying His name in all that I say and all that I do. So let's go clean! 

pre July 4th

It's the day before America's birthday, the day before my husband and I go off for a little R & R, and I am thinking about all the things I have yet to do this summer.  Organizing seems to be a central theme on my list of 42 things to do this summer.  I can almost organize myself too much and that's what I wanted to write about today.  Organization is so good but when I fail to start or finish anything because I am not organized enough then it's a problem.  It's also a problem when I have to be so organized I can't experience the spontaneity of life.  Like many areas of life there is a balance that moves and I am learning to shift with each day so that I stay balanced.  I want to hear the Holy Spirit, feel the nudge, but I also need to have some sort of order to my days when I am not working hence the balance dance is born!  I am finding out so much about myself in these quiet days and doing the balance dance is my new move.
