The Little Things

You might remember, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was
His turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her
Alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident.

One of them
Missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.

One's
Car wouldn't start.

One couldn't
Get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
Took the various means to get to work
But before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot.

He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..

Now when I am
Stuck in traffic ,
Miss an elevator,
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone ...
All the little things that annoy me.
I think to myself,
This is exactly where
God wants me to be
At this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be
Going wrong ,

You can't seem to find the car keys,
You hit every traffic light,
Don't get mad or frustrated;
It May be just that

God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you
With all those annoying little things
And may you remember their possible purpose.

GOD WILL CHANGE YOU

~Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.~ Proverbs 19:21

Even though you may still be operating in old habits, you still have hope of change, but you can't change yourself. God will change you, if you seek Him with your whole heart.

Don't be in a hurry for God to finish working in your life. We want everything to be done instantly, but God is not interested in our schedule. The enemy may thwart your plans, but God's plans don't get thwarted, and He has a unique plan for you.

Seek God's plan for your life. Stay on fire, red hot, zealous. Pursue His purpose for you with every ounce of energy you have. There is nothing in this world that is worth seeking more.

Devotion Time

Hey all, just thought I'd let you know I will be posting a devotional most every day, taken from my devotional "STARTING YOUR DAY RIGHT" by Joyce Meyer.  Each devotional is short and sweet (so to speak) and can be done easily.  I just want to share what I find helpful, and it is especially great for those of us who have children and are on the go with not a lot of time to spare (most of the time).  So I hope ya'll enjoy them, and if you do let me know by leaving a comment.  May God's face shine upon us all today and beyond!

(The first devotional follows this post)

Eliminate Excuses

~For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you.  Therefore shall your camp be holy, that He may see nothing indecent among you.~ Deut. 23:14

If a habit is controlling you, you will not enjoy the best that God offers you.  Don't make excuses for bondages that seem to have a hold on you. Denial and excuses will keep you from enjoying your life.

Whether is is an eating disorder or a bad temper, you cannot blame it on your genes or your family. God makes a way of escape for us and promises a good life for those who are born again. Claim your rights as a child of God. Say, "I am a new person in Christ; I can do all things through Christ who strengthes me" (see Philippians 4:13)
