Do Something That Brings You Joy!!

I'm having a late riser day today.  How about you?

It is okay to have at least one of those kinds of days!  In fact we NEED one or 2 of them, every now and then.

Think about it - whether you work outside your home or whether you are a "Work In" individual - we form daily routines...

For some of us (Myself in particular) routines impose themselves upon us.  I say that because I "despise" routine.  Perhaps that means I am an "indisciplined" person, but I don't care, that's ME.  So routines impose themselves upon me demanding that I do set things, on set days, at set times - that's a LOT of work and requires more organizational effort than I care to incorporate in my life however, since I MUST earn an income - I have been unwittingly forced to develop disciplines and routines.  They sometimes become a drag, but inspite of my complaining, I have come to admire that side of the character they've forged in me.  So YES, while I despise them routines work and are NECESSARY.  But every now and then I find that I must indulge and enjoy my unruly side!!

Today's is THAT kind of day!  Take a break and give yourself a "Routine Free" Day!!

Our pictures MUST have backdrops!!

As I prayed & communed with God he said "Your trials are a backdrop for the artistry I'm creating of your life. A backdrop - JUST that. Every painting needs a backdrop or background. And the backdrop must be a complementary contrast in order to give life to the object of the painting. In order for the main object to stand out there must be a backdrop that enhances and gives life to the focal point." Yes! Our trials contrast with our purpose and focus - if the objects blends into the background the picture is unappealing and the object becomes obscure. Trials and spiritual conflict are a MUST if we are to become the beautiful creation God intends for us to be. So when turbulence comes look at the big picture, visualize yourself as God's future vessel of honor, and refuse to be distracted by the conflict. Conflicts are helping to paint your indescribably beautiful picture. Hang in there my friend!!
