As it turns out, today is week one in a six week series that will discuss fool-proofing with Jan Silvious every Wednesday on Mid Day Connection. I am pretty sure you can listen to the programs at your convenience (after they air).
I just listened to the first week/day and was so encouraged. God confirmed my decisions of late and reminded me how much he cares about my struggles. The series is a must if you want to learn more!
Here are a few great points I took away from today's program:
• you cannot be up close with your fool and upclose with God. The fool will likely consume your thoughts and emotions, so understand what to do if you realize this has happened. Go back to God, give over your fool to him, and back away from the fool in order to "guard your heart".
• Think of the analogy of a castle: "The name of the Lord is a strong tower"
Run into Him for refuge from even the fool in your life. So encouraging!
• There is a 6 week Bible study that can be purchased to correlate
Hope you are encouraged today!
Love,
April

Revolutionize Your Life
We've all heard the phrase, "life is hard, but God is good!"
Yet I used to think on hearing that statement, "but my life is VERY hard.". My husband travels mon-thurs every week. We only see him on the weekends. I have three kids. A 12 year old son I am trying to develop into a Godly man, a 9 yr old son who is sensitive to his middle child position and terribly wants to fit in at school, and a 15 month old daughter who has health issues. Life is very hard sometimes. I usually feel depleted physically by 2 pm, emotionally by sometimes 9 AM, and spiritually depleted by the littlest upset. Life is hard- a lot of times. My boys need so much more quality time and direction and help than I can give them. Life is HARD. There is little help from out of the home available, no time for friendship, and a to-do list that I am responsible for that never gets done on time. I am tired of this being so hard. Discontentment was clouding my view, my judgement, my joy. Once I realized that I was actually not content with God's decisions for my life, I knew I had to revolutionize my view, my attitude, my heart, my expectations, AND my relationship with my God. I believe He is in control of all things, but I wasn't living it. So this year, I am working on change in my attitude. A wise "friend" recently reminded me that "Disappointments are inevitable, discouragement is a choice." I would also say that discontentment is a choice. I am going to start giving to God those things I can't handle anyway, and start living all things "to His glory" !!!
Here's to giving up, letting go, and giving in: to God!
