I often ask myself..."Am I doing the best I can?" As a mama, a wife, a sister, friend, an employee? These are just the daily things I know I have to do. I think there is always room for improvement. I want to dig a little deeper these days. My best, what does that look like, feel like, sound like? How is it that I can improve in these areas where I feel I am lacking? First of all I have to remember that in myself I am only able to do so much. Things begin to unravel when I get in the way of what God is doing. I start feeling overwhelmed and like I am losing control of situations. My life begins to resemble the art of a two year old, a lot of scribble and scrabble, and there is no balance. So- how do I regain my peace? How can I make a difference? A difference so profound that I don't even understand it? A difference where my children are left in shock, my husband says, "Where is my wife?", and on the job co-workers are left wondering what has taken place in her life? This is the impact I want to make! To start with something small and allow God to take it, mold it, shape it, and grow it into something incomprehensible! FAITH! BELIEF! TRUST! #FBT! James 1:6 "If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open" (MSG). I love the way this is worded. I only need to ask God to help me, HE loves to help! How cool is that! The catch is that when I ask for help I need to believe. No doubting. Well, there you have it brothers and sisters. Make a difference, ask God for help and BELIEVE! I would love to receive feedback so please feel free to respond to my blogs any time.

I know that having been rescued by GOD from my own self inflicted demise before it cost me my life is a great blessing in itself. The reality is though, GOD wants to continue to bless me, and bless me abundantly. HE is changing those areas where I can't a I surrender to HIM. It's a journey right, and it's not over

YES! That's the whole point I'm beginning to see also. After everything our family has persevered through HE must have BIG plans for us, our children & grandchildrem. I pray for us daily to be ready to 'move' when HE calls- step out in faith, trust & obey. We set that example for one another as brothers & sisters in Christ as well as husband & wife, parents, sons, daughters. Thank you for responding 'The Best Is Yet To Come'
