Preparing Yourself!

How come women are always wanting to "fix" their husband and not their self?

Hmmmm. You can't prepare yourself in a day. You must prepare yourself every day....key word "yourself"...... day after day.... after day after day....for the rest of your days!

The process of preparation is just that - a process. The journey in this life is just as important as the destination. God does not refine you, train you, transform you, or renew you instantly. He puts you through a process. This process requires patience. It requires a steadfastness and a faithfulness. It requires ongoing trust and obedience!

I believe if we keep our minds stayed in preparing for the battle that is beset before us each day is enough to keep us busy. There are so many hurting people who need love, encouragement, and kindness shown, instead of being shoved aside and left to not ever feel the happiness we could pass on inside of us for the joy we have from knowing a Savior who has given us so much! Yesterday I was talking with a lady who said all she has is work and hitting the bed; work and hitting the bed; etc. same rut every single day. I said, "Prepare yourself to change it!" I can't wait to talk to her today and she if she took one day to change it and if she "gets a life" - then let me know and from there she begins a change and it won't be easy at first, but the steadfastness and faithfulness will give her the confidence she needs to stop the hurting she is feeling.

I am thrilled to be able to help her. And I know she will experience joy unspeakable as she prepares herself on a different course, different pace, instead of running from the real problem, facing it and have oh such wonderful peace! Enjoy your Wednesday!!!!
