Its been a long time since my last post. I seem to just stay in my head when I have things going on that I'm dealing with or when I just get in not so exciting routine of life. I'm trying to think of what all has been going......
I had failed the insurance test for the 3rd time.
I've been worried and stressed about money.
I've been listening to Satan's lies!!!! Man he has done a number on me too!!! I recognize it and I'm trying to battle against him but there for a while, a few weeks I sort of gave up and cave into going with the flow of lies in my head. I had myself set up for defeat with that test before I even started taking it again.
I'm working hard at believing that I can and will pass this time. I have some awesome friends around me supporting me and encouraging me.
But lately I still just feel so overwhelmed and tired. Tired on all levels possible.....
Recently a friend of mine emailed me a devotional. It was perfect! It as as if I sat down and wrote it!
The main thing that stuck out and has been something I have been saying to myself lately is:
DO THE NEXT THING
Do it immediately;
Do it with prayer;
Do it reliantly,
casting all care;
Do it with reverence,
Tracing His Hand,
Who placed it before thee with
Earnest command.
Stayed on Omnipotence,
Safe 'neath His wing,
Leave all resultings,
DO THE NEXT THING.
That is a quote from an old Saxon poem written by Elisabeth Elliot.
I love it and I plan printing it out and hanging it somewhere in my home.
