Do you ever hold onto things when it's time to lay them down? Are there things God is calling you to do differently? Trimming my nibbled up shrubs helped me remember that sometimes we have to get rid of the dead branches to see new growth.
Hearing these words over and over in my head led me to God's Word. Why do we run like crazy people, why to we put unneeded pressure on ourselves, our children, and those around us? I know I might step on some toes but do we want to be a Martha or a Mary? Where do we want to be? At our Lord's feet or constantly trying to outwork, outdo, and outrun the world's expectation when only one person needs to be pleased.....
A story about a teacher and her creative way to teach her students about appreciating the freedoms they have to sit and learn at their desk prompted me to be reminded of the appreciation we should have that we can sit at God's Table.

It's hard when you are in it to say that the troubles we have on Earth are light and momentary; however, God's Word tells us that's exactly what they are. They are achieving for us an eternal glory. 2 Cor. 4:16-18
Don't be simple......be prudent? Not sure what that means. I wasn't either, but God is teaching me.
Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul, he's in the waiting. Waiting is never wasted as long as you don't let it be. Even in all of the waiting our God is there! Just a thought a song brought to mind and comfort to my heart.
