A Daydream moment......

As of right now, I am laying on a beach with a fruity drink and a good book.

I just came out of the ocean from a good swim.

The weather is warm and balmy.

I wiggle my tones in the sand and stretch....

........and then..........

.............I wake up.............

Yes, it is just a daydream.

But a girl can dream, can't she? :)

Psalm 43

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;

rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.
You are God my stronghold.

Why have you rejected me?

Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
Send forth your light and your truth,

let them guide me;

let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight.

I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.
Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Equipped to Fulfill God's Calling

By Dr. Charles Stanley

Exodus 3:1-14

Our heavenly Father is looking for men and women who will dedicate themselves to His kingdom work. He seeks people willing to accept responsibility and carry out His "assignments" to completion.
The Lord commended Moses because he persevered in faith to fulfill the divine calling on his life. Chosen to lead the Hebrew slaves out of Egyptian bondage, Moses initially reacted by questioning, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh?" (Ex. 3:11). But God assured him, "Certainly I will be with you" (v. 12). His presence was a key part of Moses' equipping as a leader. And the Lord's response to us is the same. We can confidently accept the responsibility God gives us--whether it's for leadership or some other role--because He has promised to be with us always (Matt. 28:20).
However, Moses wondered whether the Hebrew people would listen to him. He had been away from Egypt for a long time, and his last interaction with the Israelites had been a negative one (Ex. 2:11-14). What kind of influence could he have? God revealed that the only credential Moses needed to give them was that he was sent by God--the I AM (Ex. 3:14). When the Lord gives us a task, He will bestow the spiritual authority we need to carry it out. In addition, God gave Moses a helper--his brother Aaron. Our heavenly Father will also provide us with the people necessary to fulfill His plan.
God has promised to equip us for His work.

What is your response when asked to serve?

Ummmm..............

WHAT HAPPENED?

Aly and AJ used to be so cute......

:My Update:

Sorry, about not updating regularly, Whitney ;) I am on my self-given 15 minute break from studying so I will make you happy!
I have been quite busy. I had a very, restful time in Colorado, but it seemed the moment I crossed back into Oklahoma I became busy again!

*I started Human Resource Management course which will end the first of October, so I have been studying 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week! I am so excited to be almost done with college!

*I got a cold....don't ask me why this adds to my busyness, but it feels like it! It has kicked me off of my regular schedule of walking and running, and it makes it five-billion times harder to study. I need all the brain power I can get.

*Been busy looking into careers....it is hard to find time to do this. Oklahoma has zippo opportunities for careers (at least the field that I am looking at) so I have been mentally preparing myself for moving to a new state on my own. I believe I am ready! It will be exciting!

*And then of course my regular work schedule between my two jobs. Thank you Lord, for both of them, and providing everything I need and then some....

My 15 minutes are almost up, but before I leave you, I want to tell Lauren M., Noel, Whitney and Morgan that I am praying for you......

~Lauren, I know what you are going through in moving to a new place, and trying to fit in and find new friends, I will be praying that the Lord will meet you where you are at and will provide everything for you and your family. :)

~Noel, I enjoy reading your blog. I love your honesty, and not being afraid to say that you are having a bad day. I will pray that the Lord will reveal His will for your life and give you direction in your day to day routine.

~Whitney, I love you! The Lord will provide everything you need, and will send you the desires of your heart! I will pray that He will bring wonderful opportunities your way.

~Morgan, I love you! I am proud of you for actively seeking God's will. I know what it feels like to be unsure about what to do. God is teaching you so much, and I know that He will show you His will. I will be praying for you! Just keep seeking Him.

God bless you all! :)
