Spilled O.J.

 So I just spilled orange juice ALL over my desk- it got all over the budget & receipts (enough said with that ha-ha). I just thought I would share. =) 

I write a lot to my sisters in Christ but this is also for my brothers in Christ! 

This is from my reading this morning...

 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" James 4:8a

For busy women living in a fast paced 21st century world, life may seem like a merry-go-round that never stops turning. If that description seems to fit your life as it does mine, then you may find yourself running short of patience or strength or both. If you are feeling tired or discouraged, there is a source from which you can draw the power needed to recharge your spiritual batteries. That is God. 

Since God is everywhere, we are free to sense His presence whenever we take the time to quiet our souls and turn our prayers to Him. But sometimes, amid the incessant demands of everyday life, we turn our thoughts far from God, when this happens, we suffer. I ask God daily for help to quiet my soul. To set aside quiet moments throughout the day to offer praise to the great Creator. As women who have received the gift of God's grace, we most certainly should do this. During these moments of stillness, you will often sense the infinite love and power of your Creator- He in turn will speak directly to your heart. The Psalm 46:10 reminds us to "Be still and know that I am God". When we do so, we encounter the AWESOME presence of our loving heavenly Father and we are confronted in the knowledge that God is not just near; He is here.
