Asking Him for direction and then LISTENING.<br />This is something I'm trying to be mindful of. I'm learning, "Just because I can do something doesn't mean God wants me to do it."

I read it first thing this a.m. while I was still in bed, tired (exhausted!), and discouraged. May you be blessed in all that you do.

The analogy of putting the big rocks (most important priorities) in a container first, then adding the "smaller" items next means everything "fits". While God calls us to certain big rocks, sometimes we try to pour our own agendas in and then cry out in frustration when we can't get it all to fit. A good wake up call for this busy mama who doesn't always choose the rocks He calls me to load first. ;-)Heidi Blankenshiphttp://heidimccahan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-68241744664739641752014-03-12T13:40:56.675-04:002014-03-12T13:40:56.675-04:00Laura, what a beautiful reminder to focus on God&#...Laura, what a beautiful reminder to focus on God's plan for us, not someone else. I have always heard that if the devil can't make you bad, he'll make you busy. Thanks for this beautiful post. Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635262114916498671noreply@blogger.com
