TIME



Hello on this fine day!
I always thought 23 1/2 years ago when we moved here from California that I would slow down and not be so busy. Well, my time is not my own anymore. I know that I talk about being busy pretty often. That is usually because I am stressed and too busy for my own good. 

It seems as though I get busier and busier. I know that that certainly changes week by week but I need to just "slow down".  Maybe take a breather. Wind down. Get some rest. Calm down. Take it easy. Catch one's breath. Just not get stressed. And I will ask God for His will to be done. It is all in how you look at it, I guess.

If you want time to speed up, get busier. If you want time to slow down, then don't do anything. Time flies when you are having fun and it crawls when you don't do much or don't have fun. I want my time to be God's. I want His will to be done in my life. I have heard that a busy person get's more done. I just googled it. 

If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it.

That is why it seems in church or anywhere else that it is the same people that seem to do most of the work. They are busy people and they want to see things get done. Their time is not their own, and maybe it is God's.

I am not the only one who is busy. I have heard many others say the same thing. So, let's take a rest and slow down a bit and put our focus on Jesus and then everything else will fall into place.

Matthew 6:33 

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 


2 Timothy 1:9 

He has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

Have a blessed day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
