Fourteen years ago today I was back home visiting,
when Pastor Bob pulled me aside after our church service.
He placed Jesus Calling in my hands as a gift from him to me.
And so began the journey of putting God first every morning.
Sometimes requiring me to roll out of bed at 2 AM, to devote
an hour before heading to work.
My ritual has evolved over the years, and more devotionals have been
added, but Jesus Calling always starts the day.
It has carried me through the toughest times.
Journal notes...
Focus on the beauty in life, and that is what I will
most often experience.
The opposite is also true.
'Make a decision to believe in spite of everything.
Don't look to your circumstance or pay attention
to the opinion of others.
Listen to God.
Open His Word and trust what He says.
"Small streams don't plan to become mighty rivers.
They just run in the direction they were created to move,
and their Creator decides what they'll become."
"I will instruct and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you."
~ Psalm 32:8 ~
Obey what He leads you to do.
be well...

"There is a universal, intelligent, life force
that exists within everyone and everything.
It resides within each one of us as a deep wisdom,
an inner knowing. We can access this wonderful
source of knowledge and wisdom through our intuition,
and inner sense that tells us what feels right and true
for us at any given moment."
'Learn how to develop, listen and trust this inner voice.
Trust that there is a natural flow to life, and choose to go
with it, not against it.
Instead of believing every fearful thought,
choose to listen to what your heart has to say.
Know that if there's tension and anxiety present within you,
you are disconnected from your authentic self.
If you feel peaceful and at ease, if love flow through you,
it is because you have chosen to relax into your true nature,
to allow life to guide you and to trust that it will take good care of you,
because it will.'
