As a fire fighter's wife and a mother of four children my life is a constant balancing act. The daily tasks are much too great for me, but WITH God they are manageable...one task at a time.
In my journey, I have found two books by Sarah Young to be both a source of hope and a source of encouragement-Jesus Lives & Jesus Calling
Today, I flipped opened to March 29 & this is what I read-
"STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask Me whether or not it is part of today's agenda. If it isn't, release it into My care and go on about today's duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time.
A life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on My Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things. so that in Me you may have Peace."
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, John 16:33)
WOW! Asking is my weakness. Continually seeking God with EVERYTHING throughout my WHOLE day. The challenge is great, but the reward is living peacefully with my God and with others.
