Free Spirit Butterfly: Something to ponder...

More women would submit to men if more men were to submit to God.

Welcome to the real me...

Greeting the day -

Most of us have forgotten how to greet the day. The knowledge is all but lost to us that a new day is sacred; a gift from God, a rare and precious gift. A new day brings with it another opportunity to start all over, to raise one’s head from the pillow with a glad heart, to watch the clouds roll across the dark sky now diffusing pink, and to breathe that child prayer of gratitude, “Oh, God, life again. Again, one more day of life.

The Lord of mornings is still sovereign over the world! The discipline of celebrating each new day influences our attittude toward all of life. (Women’s Devotional NIV)

I used to be the Queen of worry...

I would worry about my parents, my kid’s happiness, my sisters, my relationships, my finances, my weight, my job, my dog, my future and even my past. Silly enough, I would even stress over what to fix for dinner.

God led me to Matthew 6:25-34 beginning with “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?” Ending with “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

There are times that old habits try to resurface but I acknowledge it, give myself a good 10 minutes to vent & then let it go. Allowing situations to build up internally will eventually show up externally! Believe me, I'm speaking from experience.
