Stuff

Well...I'm home today because 2 of my kiddos are sickly feeling. I know lots of "stuff" is going around. Tummy stuff, sore throat stuff, and allergy stuff are hindering lots of folks from taking care of their daily business. I guess it's hit our house.
I haven't blogged in a while cause I've been really distracted. I can't say that I've been busy...cause I seem to find time to do what I enjoy doing. I can't seem to stay focused on something for longer than a minute. That's not my nature either. Maybe I need a small vacation? Who knows. I thought last week when I visited my favorite Claremore place called Cato's that it would help me regain focus. Sometimes if I do some retail therapy it helps me in so many areas of my life....this time it didn't. What I think (actually what I know) is that I need to spend more time focusing on Christ and less time focusing on me. When my quiet times are right, my prayer time consistent my focus shifts to Him and I begin to lose the "it's all about me" focus. So, I do know what's going on. I do know that I need to lay everything down and I need to do what is going to bring glory to God and here's the best the part....the outcome will be more than satisfying it will be sweet. Maybe in doing this a sweet wonderful friend will reap the benefit of my obedience in her struggles too. It's amazing that when we pray for our family and friends (especially when they aren't aware of our praying for them) how God is turned loose to do mighty things in their lives as well. It's brings tears to my eyes that God is so BIG. So, my faithful friend that reads my blog and loves to quote things I say here....Keep your faith alive. God is bigger than we are. If we are obedient in our thoughts, actions and speech....He will protect us!! You are such an inspiration to me. Just remember Esther 4:14. In fact...I think I will read that chapter again in a little bit.
