Happy Weekend! We are going to recap what we have discussed.

(Ps. 119:105) Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Day 1. Do one Thing at a Time~

FOCUS- Is it necessary? Does God want me to do this at this time?

Day 2. Be Satisfied with What you Have~

Learn to be content in the situation you are in.
Learning dependence on God while being content [satisfied] with the things you have.

Day 3. Keep God First~

when you Let Go or give away what's holding you back, you will be FREE!

Learn to say "No" without feeling guilty!
Stand behind your "yes"!

Day 8. Be Yourself~

Being set apart is a good thing. Find God's purpose for your life.

Day 9. Choose Quality over quantity~ 

How are you going to life your life between the time you were born until the day you pass?
What are you going to do with that DASH?

Day 10. Refuse to Start What you cannot finish~

Take time to sit (Pray) and calculate the cost. Determine if you are able to finish it.

Day 11. Don't Make Mountains out of Molehills~

Learn to choose your battles wisely and have faith that God will work it out.

Day 12. Get Your Mind Off Yourself~

When we became new creatures in Christ, we are leaving behind ourselves for the sake of Christ.

Day 13. Stop Procrastinating ~

Don't wait until tomorrow to do what God has for you to do TODAY!

Overgrown and overwhelmed. Get right and honest with God and he'll direct your path.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

Day 15. Avoid Excess Baggage~

Trust God and unpack your baggage. The lighter the load the easier the journey is.

Reflection:

FOCUS should always be on God. Through FOCUS, we are LEARNING DEPENDENCE ON GOD. We are FREE if we LET GO and live for God alone. With a new attitude of FAITH, TRUSTING God in DIRECTING OUR PATH. Always let your "YES" and "NO" be firm without feeling guilty. Being SET APART is God SETTING us up for HIS PURPOSE. Take time to EVALUATE the DASH. CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES WISELY and FORGET about it being ALL ABOUT YOU. Don't wait until TOMORROW to do what God has for you to do TODAY. GOD WILL ALWAYS DIRECT YOUR PATH. TRUST GOD and UNPACK YOUR BAGS.

Day 38~ Don't Worry About Your Children~ Teaching your Children~ We are all God's Children

Image
Welcome to day 38 with our discussion through Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." The biggest thing that we worry about is our children. I don't have any children of my own, but I feel I am still responsible for all the children I meet. It is so important to realize how special each one is. We are going to look deeper in how not to worry so much over our children that are placed into our lives. Day 38 ~ Don't Worry About Your Children~ Our scripture reading is from Matthew 6:27, " And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?" Worrying is like a rocking chair that keeps rocking but you aren't going nowhere. I am not a parent but I have babysat, raised nieces and nephews, and was a daycare teacher for 20 years. It is hard sometimes not to worry about them. My nieces and nephews are my heart ! I would do anything for them. They are back here in N

Welcome to day 29 with our daily devotional and reflection as we continue to discuss Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." There has been a lot covered in a few days and I will recap for those who are just joining our discussion. Day 29~ Think Before You Speak~ Our scripture reading is coming from Proverbs 13:3, " He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." Throughout the bible, God tells us numerous times to watch our mouths. My pastor is starting a new series titles Speech Therapy. It's not learning how to pronounce words effectively and learning to say letters correctly. This is more of spiritual check-up for Christians. our tongue can create a huge mess in our lives. I grew up not to speak at certain times and as I have grown up, I learned to speak my mind but at times I have to retract what I'm going to say and check in with God. I was young working in a factory with a bunch of m

day 80~ A bit of Grace for Today~ Gods Grace is Sufficient

Welcome to day 80 as we are continuing with our devotional reading and reflection.God is amazing and so loving! We don't deserve anything and so often take it for granted. Day 80~ A bit of Grace for Today~ Our scripture reading comes from James 4:6, "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Today as I was working,  I realized how undeserving I am of God's blessings in my life. We are looking at God's grace. God loves us so much that he sent His son to die for our sins. As I struggle with learning new schedules and children,  I mess up a lot. People have been patient with me learning children and routines from all classrooms. It has made this transition to a new place easier!  Reflections ~ God's Grace is Sufficient  In Romans 5: 20, The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more." No matter how much we mess up,
