Proverbs 3:5-7 5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Philippians 4:6-8 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Praise the Lord! Sister Shasta hit it on the nose this morning…I read her blog and said Yes Lord – Yes Lord – I hear ya – Yes Lord!! I love it when He does that. Yesterday was a day of reckoning, joy, peace and serious love! First let me start with the fun stuff…LOL 

My hubby and I went out to dinner and movie. We went and saw G.I. Joe as my son really wants to see that and I MUST see all movies before he can see them if they are not rated G. I am one of ‘those’ moms…I know a lot of parents look at me strange and all that but I try very hard to watch what he is exposed to. So the ‘hot’ movies of the summer such as Transformers and Terminator have not been seen by my son though all his friends have seen them…just because I do not take him with me to movies that I am not sure about the scenes…LOL hey they made those movie ratings for a reason! LOL 

We went to Atria’s – a nice restaurant and atmosphere – we enjoyed the food and the time spent together. We just truly enjoyed the evening…yet it is funny sometimes as we were walking into the restaurant – I looked over at my hubby and went “he really is shorter than me” LOL I had to laugh at that because to me my hubby is larger than life and I most of the time do not see his size at all, so I had to laugh as to me – my hubby is 10 feet tall even though in real height he is only 5ft 4 maybe LOL Yet the heart of this man is so awesome and watch out when he grabs a hold of me! LOL Praise the Lord for that! We just really enjoyed ourselves…we do not get many times to do that so it was really nice to be able to do that and may we be blessed with many more times to do so.  

Yet it was funny when we went home and walked in the house – the work was back and off we went. LOL You would have thought we would have sat on the couch and talked…hummmm NOT…LOL I hit the computer to get the Good Morning email done and just run through my email real quick – that took an hour!! A WHOLE HOUR!! LOL He went and started looking up stuff and working on Sister Shasta’s computer and the next thing I noticed it was midnight and I had to get up for work…ugggghhhhh work – work nasty work…yet I said Lord I shall smile and go!  

Yesterday, I came into work expecting to walk back out – with my papers of freedom! LOL Yet the Lord had other plans and I was told I was just too valuable to the company to let me go…WHAT??!!! I AM WHAT!!! I started calling on Jesus! I was just so thrown…I called my hubby and started talking to him about it. I was so floored about it. How could they just keep me here? Why couldn’t I be released from this job? LOL I had to vent it out for a minute – yet again talking to my hubby but really talking to the Lord.  

How can WL4J go where you want it to go Lord, while I am working a full time job, being a wife and mother, and just not finding enough time in the day? Lord how can I get my house together, network, find us an office, work on getting the preliminaries done for all those programs you laid on my heart while trying to work this full time job? Lord, what the heck is going on? LOL All of this is going through my mind – all of this is just making me go nuts AT FIRST! I was so thrown as I was full of joy for leaving – just knowing that I could leave and be home. My son having his mommy home, my hubby coming home to a clean house and home cooked meal. Being able to do what I need to do for my family and my sisters – what a blessing to me – yet I thought Lord it just flew out the window…how can this be?  

I was just at a lost for things….yet the word of the Lord always comes forth to calm us and show us that it is not OUR WILL that matters anyhow – but HIS WILL in HIS POWER! It is something when we stop ourselves from moving in our will and in His will. I am walking in Jesus and not even sure what is next but I am doing what He said to do. I am doing what He directs me to do and that is all that really matters.  

I was so concerned in bringing this vision to existence but the reality is that this vision is not my vision, shoot I ran from it and wanted no parts of heading up anything with a bunch of women…LOL. This vision is God’s vision and He will bring it to pass as HE sees fit, so I thought I had to do it free from work, but the Lord has had WL4J working in the Lord since October 2007 – so you know what I can say that He will bring it the rest of the way.  

Yet as I type this, my words come back to me – nothing worth having is easy to get. It is not an easy walk in this life and as long as our focus is on Jesus and we find the joy in life while we are doing it – all the rest will follow. I am thankful to the Lord for the mighty blessings that He has bestowed upon us and it is so good in Him that we are able to do His will that HE wants us to do!  

We are blessed – we are really blessed! It is in listening to His direction and His will for our lives we will find happiness and joy – sure we are going to have moments where we are wondering WHAT THE HECK but remember that Jesus answers all prayers and answers – we just have to be open to hear the answer…which is most times are issues any how…hearing the answers that He has for us… 

You know it was really something to watch the sisters’ praise and worship the Lord together this weekend, it was really something to have all that wonderful conversation and love flowing this weekend…but none of it really matters if our focus is not on the Lord. I started thinking about that as I was having my own 15 second pity party for having to go back to work, altering the plans that I had for stuff, and then the Lord reminded me that none of what I have been through really matters if my focus is not on Him.  

Our number one purpose of life is…

 Matthew 22:36-38 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment.

If we do this – do you realize that everything else will follow, all that you could imagine will follow…as my hubby said during his sermon on Sunday – that God will be immeasurable – the blessings that flow when we do this will be immeasurable for He is immeasurable! Hallelujah – we going through – take our focus off of what we are going through and place our focus on Jesus – focus on the Lord this day and every day and watch what happens to our lives in Him…watch what the Lord will do to those around us that are in our way – they become our footstools and we never have to even open our mouths against them!

Praise the Lord for that! Let us remember who we really belong too – we are children of the most High God….
