Not sure about this one...

Our Daily Bread

I am not sure what I am supposed to get out of today's devotion. I guess I have never let myself be put down for my faith. I "fight" back with witty comments and eloquent debate! I can be an overwhelming opponent when pushed! hehehe

After thinking about this some more, I realized that I am supposed to pray for the Christian folks who are not like me. The ones who are timid in their faith or do not have the kind of personality to stand up to the critics of faith. I also learned that I need to be more sensitive to my responses in these situations. I need to let God send his convicting power via the Holy Spirit instead trying to convince the person on my own about how wrong they are! hehehe

Lord, I want to rely on you and your Spirit to bring others to you and not my excellent debating skills!

Simply Saturday

This has been a wild week for me. I am thankful that God gave me the strength to be upbeat and steady. ;-) It is amazing to see how He works in our lives. He helped me move on from an odd scenario in my life with the best possible results for everyone involved. God has been trying to get through to me for a while about a specific situation that I needed to address. I needed to change my mind and my heart. Instead of being hurt and bitter, I am relieved that we finally worked through this. Thank you, Father! I am excited about the future. I will not regret the past. God used me in this situation. I had my goals wrong and needed to realign them! hehehe

Today will be great (like other days!). I am meeting my walking buddy at Costco. I have a little surprise for her. I hope to take her to lunch for her birthday as well. I have work stuff on the actual day of her birthday. I miss walking with her.

I have some errands to do. A NYE party to plan. Some Christmas cards to send out. Some decorations to put up. And, meet my hero for some dark chocolate peppermint ice cream at Jeni's later! Woohoooo!

Life is good. I am looking forward to the holiday, to my vacation to Ft Lauderdale in January, and to my work trip to Orlando in February. I have some more trips to plan, so stay tuned!

Hang in there, my friends. I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do...
