Directions, please?

I breath a big sigh of relief this morning. It is good to know that even though we are imperfect (check out the new title of the blog...the "daily" thing is not happening at the moment!) we can receive direction from God himself who is perfect. He is above space and time and knows where I need to go and what I need to accomplish as a mom, as a wife, as a woman in the Kingdom of God. He knows and has specialized counsel and help for me! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I am more than OK! I am more than accomplished with His Hand and His Help.

“This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”Isaiah 48:17

Time won't give me time...

Today I had a great lunch with my women's group at Red Lobster. The food was good, but the fellowship/friendship was better. Unfortunately, many moms, like myself, do not make time to surround themselves with encouraging friends...women that we can draw from even when we feel spiritually full.

On the ride home, I was thinking about God and His nature. It is abundant. He doesn't want us to run on empty or even get close to empty. He wants us to fill up even when we are full! Wow, what a concept! 

Even though I feel rushed and frantic from time to time, I have to remind myself of the truth: I do have the time to get encouraged in His word. I do have time for my husband and our marriage. I do have time to hang out with my friends...weekly! I do have time for women's group (plus leading one). I do have time to give my sons extra long hugs. I do have time to tell my sons how they are a blessing in me and my husband's lives. 

Making time for friends is so important. Making time for laughter is so important. Making time to be encouraged is so important. We have the time, so let's make the time.

Romans 1:12
When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
