Ready, or Not...

{ 08:27, Wednesday, December 27, 2006 } { Posted in In the Office } { 0 comments } { Link }
Here comes 2007!  I am.  Ready, or not, that is.  I had a beautiful, everything-in-all-the-little-boxes schedule laid out for our coming school year (we begin in January and go thru Thanksgiving), until God came along and tossed the whole thing.  I do have my "Home Management Binder" mostly ready, housekeeping schedule and chore charts in place, and a meal rotation plan up and running that we all like.  I'm getting back on the weight-loss track that I began last January (from which I lost 30#, regained 10#), hoping to lose at least another 20#.  I'm getting better about bookkeeping and budgeting. But the school toss-up has me very much on edge.  God and I have been wrestling back and forth for some time; He wanting to take the lead, and me wanting Him to present me with a workable plan.  So, here we go, off into the wild (very wild) blue yonder of another school year... with very little plan in place... a petrified mommy... and a family saying, "yea! we can trust God to lead us!"  To which I say, "aaaeeeekkkkkaaaaaHHH!"

About Me


Whoso loves believes the impossible.
--Elizabeth Barrett Browning

We are not called to get love,
but to give unstintingly and joyously,
life-giving agape love to those the Lord has surrounded us with.

Yay! I'm a daisy, my favorite flower!!

I am a
Daisy

What Flower
Are You?


Just as a flashlight draws power from its batteries,
we draw power from the Son of God.
As light, we dissipate fear, bring relief and lift spirits.
We don't even have to be big to be effective.
We just have to be "on".
Today, let's pursue that which is good,
right and truthful by shining through darkened circumstances.
Don't keep the switch off
or hold back as though our batteries have run down.
Our source is the glorious

"Light Invisible."


Being switched on pleases the Lord.
Stay on.
Stay bright.

--Luci Swindoll
