Just Woke Up....SQUIRREL!

oops!

i did it again....

got lost in the sheets...and slept through the da-a-ayyyyyy.

haha. b/c i stayed up all night last night doing the stuff i was doing, i only had an hour sleep to get me through the day. tues nights is the women's ministry and i really wanted to stay up b/c we were gonna celebrate two of our sister's birfdays. unfortunately i passed out and it's 12:22am. i woke up just a tad too late. a TAD!'

i feel really bad, ESPECIALLY since this was a special day today and i'm trying to keep my focus on God and his promises for me. i wasn't up all night dilly-dallying, but doing His work.

tomorrow is my "day off" from helping my mom and it's gonna be another jam packed to the rim full of activities day. this friday is the RESONATE LAUNCH PART-AYYY! i was cutting fabric squares all day at the store and soon i gotta start making the favors. when it gets nuttzzz like this and my social life suffers there's two verses that encourage me:

1. "work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the LORD rather than for people. remember that the LORD will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the master you are serving is Christ." --Col. 3:23,24

2. "be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the LORD is ever useless." --1 Cor. 15:58

i love God. He surely knows how to comfort us with his Words and Promises.

today's devo i got: "teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud & not to trust their money, which is so unreliable. their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment." --1 tim 5:17

ain't that so true? money is the TOP thing that replaces God. it's so easy to feel security from it, but we need to remember...MONEY IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. its value was given by mere humans. get some ink, put a number on a piece of rectangle paper and SMACk! you have an idol that many worship. lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i fell into that trap too.

but you know what? i'm also learning that God wants to BLESS his children with not only riches in heaven, but riches on earth too. if we change our hearts and seek to spend money/our resources (which ultimately belongs to Him) to further his kingdom, He will bless us more abundantly than we could ever imagine.

and that my friends, is the TRUTH.
