"Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in Him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!" (Philippians 4:4-5 MSG)

God Is In Control

Today is gonna be a good day! Why? Because God is in control! He is bigger, stronger, more patient, loving, kind, extender of grace and mercy than anyone else! He has already made provision for today - it is up to me to accept it...to take each day as one day at a time. 
Living in the present has proven invaluable to me. It helps to shed a lot of worry - something I had not realized until today has been a constant companion. Anything that takes your focus off of God and puts it on a/the situation IS worry.

I also recently realized that I had allowed pride to seep in. When I went job hunting initially, I was quick to make sure everyone knew that I had a Masters degree and that I was not going to settle for just any rue-da-poo job. After all, I AM a child of the King! What I failed to realize is that the same rue-da-poo job might be what God would have me to do. My place of reference - a starting point. Failing to be led by the Spirit of God is a sure fire condition for failure. Once I got quiet - or shall I say quieted myself - I realized that God was indeed calling me to FCC again. Once I accepted that, a peace that passed all understanding overtook me...and joy! I am so excited to get started again! I am not sure of how long I will be doing FCC - I just know for right now, this is where GOD has me at. I choose to rest in today - to focus on today and take it one day at a time!

        "But I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead"
(Philippians 3:13).

       "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon closed door that we do not see the one which has opened to us" (Alexander Graham Bell).

       "Its only a two-letter word, but that little word - "if" - stalls our growth and holds us back. When we "if" our lives away, we are giving away our power"

("Stress Less and Enjoy Each Day").                                                                  

        "When we have a iffy perspective on life, we choose to ride down a road filled with stop signs rather than enjoying our present. You are stopped and can't move forward when 'if only' starts [or ends] our day"
("Choosing Contentment" - David Zerfoss).
