Too Long

So sorry that it has been so long since I last visited you. It has been crazy. My harddrive died which took me out of the virtual world for almost a week. Then I discovered more of the world around me.

I was saddened this past week as I realized how low some people will go in this world to be on top. They do not mind lying, cheating, or stealing to get what they want. So much of this I hear in books and movies, but I lived it this week.

What have I learned? That I need to be more aware and alert of everyone. God asks that we be like innocent children yet keep our street smarts. That can be difficult but when we walk in the Spirit it works. Only when we walk with God daily and let Him guide us can survive the perils of this life.

So what am I going to do? I'm going to spend more time in the Word and more prayer!

I'm Not in Control

Life can be humbling. I had our move all planned out. It would have gone so smoothly if my husband hadn't hurt his shoulder, the car didn't decide to get sick, and work needed overtime. If it could go wrong and interfere with my carefully laid out plans, it did. Or did it?

My computer decided to quietly die. The hard drive after 1 year decided to commit suicide. What was I to do? I needed it. Or did I? Without the computer around I was able to work more on the move and help my husband. Work had to take a backseat.

I'm not always in control and my plans are not always the best. I discovered that I need to be more flexible and willing to go with His flow much more easily.

I think I'll begin to turn the electronics off a few more times!
