31 Days of Making Every Day Count

Today I had my whole day planned. I had mentally mapped out what I would write in today's post. I'm very excited to be joining this group and the challenge of blogging for 31 days and "Making Everyday Count!"

Several wonderful ladies from my church got together today to pray over our blogs and help each other work out last minute kinks in our blog layouts.

So far, I was having a pretty good day until I got home and turned on my computer...NOTHING. Say What?!* Oh no, my notes, my pictures. Life Happened...what to do, what to do.

I called my computer guy and he was kind enough to allow me to come to his shop even though it was past time for him to go home - such a nice guy and very knowledgeable about computers. Good new, bad news...good news, he was able to get my computer running again; bad news, my computer has probably reached it's maximum life expectancy. So, I will be spending several hours backing up all my files and shopping for a new computer very soon.

Today, I'm living according to Psalm 55:22 - Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you. And 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. In the middle of everything, He calmed all my anxiety and all my fears. Thank You Lord!

Stayed tuned, over the next 31 days I will be sharing books, songs, quotes and people that have inspired me along my journey through life. As well as some of my favorite photos I've taken over the years. Life hasn't been all easy and I've made more than my share of mistakes but with God by my side, always, I have persevered and OVERCOME. Day by day, we can make everyday count!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
