Sometimes in my life I worry about where my life is going. Does my life please God? It seems that at times I am just moving along without any real thought about my spirituality until it comes to Sunday. The daily screaming of the kids wears the energy away. The arguing with the parent who thinks runs the house and let's the kids run wild seems to be never ending. Yes, it seems the week goes by over and over again and I am spinning looking forward to just some time to myself.

In seminary class I was reminded about a couple of verses in Phillippians 2....God will help me to do His will and His good pleasure. So I was thinking.....is all this day in and day out living that seems not to be spiritual is actually what God is deeming necessary to fullfill this scripture? I started to take comfort when thinking about this......God does not lie.....so therefore all this day in and day out living must be what He is doing to cause me to learn some valuable lessons.

Today, after Church, I head to Philadelphia, PA. for a solid week of relaxing enjoyments! It has been 11 years since I was able to stay in Philly and enjoy the people! I am so looking forward to all the blessings God has given me to enjoy! Time to think and relax! It feels as though I am getting the water a thirsty plant needs!

So is God helping me to just nestle up to Him? Is He teaching what strive parents go through in their daily life? Does spiritual leaders need to realize that every household is its own world of challenges? I think that my lessons at home is more training that seminary just cannot give you.

I think God has proved to me that in fact.....He is in control of perfecting each one of us even when we feel like such failures.

To God be ALL the glory
