It is funny how when we start to take steps in the positive direction of the Lords leading; how we can be entrapped with many different things that will lead us astray on keep us in the same place without follow through.
I have to say that is what seems to be happening already.
Boy the tricks the devil and our minds can pull on us. {Never ceases to amaze me.}
I over slept. Which in some ways I'm not surprised as I have been very ill. So running to get ready for work. I really wanted some extra quiet time and prayer with the Lord. Hmmm... Must work on that. I want to go out to the garage and find the book of devotions my daughter bought me a few years ago. Or I may just subscribe on line to them. Then read it every morning. Raining hard so I don't want to go out in the rain. Don't want to to get any sicker. I have like five bibles next to my bed. I need to read some more every night. It sounds like I do. Well... I did but got off track. Need to get back on track. No excuses!
On my devotional card this afternoon
Father, Author and Giver of life, to believe in you is to accept life with all its potential and hope and happiness.
~Psalm 37:4
"Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of the thine heart."

Added information on this wonderful journey I am undertaking. I am also hooking up with Shawn over at the "The Becker's (Shawn and Bill) http://coloradobeckers.blogspot.com/ Starting on November 1 she is starting a 30 day challenge of "Be Thankful" That can be added to the end of each post.
