Knock, Knock!

Like any human, I fall off track sometimes when life becomes overwhelming and complicated; forgetting to seek Him and His amazing guidance only to grovel for His forgiveness in being absent to His presence. I am greatly rewarded by blessings of many different kind.

God does not forget me, or you, no matter what goes on or has happened in your life or the world. I hope these daily devotions can help others as much as they have helped me.

For anyone who may be reading this, please do not post comments (or try to) bashing myself or my religious beliefs. I am not out there seeking you out for your differences to try and debate them. I respect that everyone is different, everyone has different religions and beliefs and I completely respect them for that as they have that right. I have been down many different roads in my young life, and this is what I have chosen because I feel it with every beat of my heart. I just ask that it be respected.

July 26

July 26th

"RELAX AND LET ME LEAD YOU through this day. I have everything under control: My control. You tend to peer anxiously into the day that is before you, trying to figure out what to do, and when. Meanwhile, the phone or the doorbell rings, and you have to reshuffle you plans. All that planning ties you up in knots and distracts you from Me. Attentiveness to Me is not only for your quiet time, but for all your time. As you look to Me, I show you what to do now and next.

Vast quantities of time and energy are wasted in obsessive planning. When you let Me direct your steps, you are set free to enjoy Me and to enjoy Me and to find what I have prepared for you this day."

Psalm 32:8; Psalm 119:35

Schedules, schedules, schedules!! Plans, plans, plans!

AAAAHHH Don't they make you just want to SCREAM half the time?! Especially if you have kids and a busy life.

Errrrrrrrrrrt, put on those brakes and slow it down. Remember to breath. Remember to stop, take a deep breath and ask for His guidance. We can make all the plans and schedules we want, but we have to take into account that we do NOT have the final say, things can happen and pop up at a moment's notice and ruin our oh-so-important plans. Remember: our plans are nothing compared to His. His plans trump ours at all costs. His are much more important and should come first.

When we have so much going on in our lives, it can be hard to stop to pray and ask for guidance when we make our plans. But, if we do that, we will be lead down a path we are supposed to be going and often, without negative interruption. When we take the time to set aside that time to speak with Him, include Him, and ask Him for His help, He is right there to include His helping hand.

So, when making our plans, let us make sure He is included in that schedule and plan for the day :)
