Fox Hunting

Our church is at the end of the first week in a 21 day fast. This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I am fasting Facebook... Seems simple enough, right? I thought it wouldn't be bad at all. I guess you figure out how addicted you are to something when you can't or choose not to have it. I have started to get on every morning and been tempted to check it several times in between. I usually just keep it up all day and then if someone is on that I want to chat with I just click on them and start typing...

I guess what I am learning from this is that when you think something is a little time consuming, it is probably more than you thought it was to begin with. Now when the "I don't have time" excuse pops into my mind, I will have to remember that it's the "little" foxes that spoil the vine...
Time to go fox hunting! : )

Trust in the Lord...

In my haste to "get things going" again in my life I have realized (thank you, Holy Spirit) that I had begun to fall into old habits of trying to make things happen. I was getting worked up about getting a house, whether or not to work, which school to send the kids too, etc. As I was sitting one morning talking to the family about a passage I just read to them, the Lord dropped Prov. 3:4-6 in my heart.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don't depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in everything you do and He will give you success ( make straight your paths.)"

I purpose to let it all go (again) and to bring it all to Him in prayer and then sit back and watch what He can do!
