Challange: Arrange your days so you experience total contentment, joy and confidence in your everyday life with God.

Another good day. Donuts with Grands. Read another George Mueller chapter. 6 in SS. Visited with man passing thru Arthur headed to Mississippi with his family. Lord, go with them. Encourage them. Bring them to yourself. We went to IG to get some groceries, then home for a bite to eat. (Leftover egg rolls from last night.) Nap in the afternoon. I finished reading Soul Keeping by John Ortberg. Good book. Much to learn and practice for me. Here are some thoughts to ponder from the book: The life of the village depends on the stream. The stream is your soul. You are the keeper. You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. There is a world of difference between being busy and hurried. Busy- full schedule Hurried- preoccupied. Busy-many activities Hurried- unable to be fully present Busy-outward condition Hurried-condition of the soul Busy-reminds me I need God Hurried- makes me unavailable to God. Hurry is a natural barrier that keeps me from a life on the vine. The soul thrives not from our accomplishments, but though simply being with God. It's not about perfection, adequacy or competence, It's about holding on to God. Our soul was made to be connected to Him. In the Dark night of the Soul, God works to change us, not only through light and joy, but through confusion, loss and disappointment. This will be a test of your joyful confidence in God. We can only be said to be alive in the moments are hearts are conscious of our treasures. Our soul thrives on gratitude. We feel better when we are grateful. Work is a soul function. There is nothing better for a person than he should make his soul enjoy good in his work. Blessings: The Lord bless and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. See each day how much we can meet the need of our souls to be with God. Arrange your days so you experience total contentment, joy and confidence in your everyday life with God. Plan to order home school Financial Peace dvd series. It is windy, but plan to straighten out rugs that were pulled off the rows last night.
