Staying strong in faith

Every week I think to myself, I'm going to post something on our blog and then every week goes by that I don't. I often feel....what would I say, what would I contribute and then I have extremely thoughtful and meaningful Ideas as I fall to sleep in bed without my iPad! And cliff is not too fond of the wonderful iPad screen as he's trying to fall asleep and not so easy to sneak back there late at night as a pin falling on carpet would wake that man! Geesh. But ladies, oh how I'm practicing our lessons from unglued everyday and oh how I try to improve myself everyday, don't we all. Unglued, is always in the back of my mind during good days and bad. I'm trying to learn how to recognize my warnings on what is going to push me to that unglued place and often I just wish I could escape those things, those triggers. But I cannot always escape them and so I must face them and evaluate who I become when I come unglued. How often are we pushed to our limits, who do we hurt, what is the result, how can we improve. Life would be easy if we could have it just the way we wanted it, or so we think. If I could just have daily devotional time, a long lunch break, a nice quiet connected moment with the ones we love, a clean house, a clean / decorated house, time, time, time......... But in reality, we don't have much of that so how can we get through the day, be grateful for what we have and not come unglued about the things that can create barriers, tear down relationships......FAITH. A thankful heart is like a magnet. It attracts gratitude, happiness, and cheerfulness. Take time to think God for all He has done. And ask for improvement in yourself during your toughest moments. I will continue to ask God to improve my weaknesses and forgive me for those things that I struggle with. And I will continue to carve out as much time each week to dive into unglued. I wish I had more time to devote to this but I'm also grateful that God is in my life, working!
