Take time to enjoy.....

Another summer is coming to a close, the beautiful colors and smells of the garden are fading away. Take time to enjoy......whatever it is you love while you have the chance. Do not put off until tomorrow what you could do today. Have no regrets. Give everything you do your best, don't put yourself in the position of saying "I wish I had done....". Love what you have, serve where you are, live your life to the fullest. If we wish away our todays, tomorrow may never come.

We have this gardenia bush in our backyard, it is one of the most memorable smells to me, everytime I walk by it and STOP so I can smell it and remember. The flowers don't last long, if I were to just pass by and be too busy or not care, I would miss out. Join God where He is working so as to not miss out on the blessings He has in store for you.

Wondering Why?

Have you ever been in that place where you wondered why? I have, and I am trying to figure out what I am to learn while going through this trial. When disappointment comes, and heartache happens and prayers seem unheard, what can I do? I can run to the LORD and PRAY, nothing can heal my heart better or calm my anxiety better that being in the presence of my LORD. If GOD knows all about me, what will happen, and He can see the big picture, than I need to trust HIM with all I am. I must always remember that HE loves those I love even more, therefore HE will do what is best for those HE loves. Best does not always mean easy, if life was easy I would have no need to cling to my LORD. HE wants me to be dependent upon  HIM. Trust the LORD with all your heart, soul and mind and lean not on you own understanding. When life doesn't make sense GOD does. Thank you LORD for making sense out of the chaos. I love you.
