in the midst of it all...

daily we find ourselves busy, consumed by the day to day hhustle of the things known as our life but here is a thought to ponder; its not really ours. just think if you didnt stop at the red light you could hit a walker injuring them for life. or holding the door for that elderly person walking into the market who can barely breath. or what about our precious little ones who cant reach the food in the fridge or even comprehend how to make a meal to eat. if the things we do or the life we live is our own we wouldnt be able to touch so many lives on a regular basis.  our heavenly father didnt create us to be alone not having interaction with one another he made us to touch lives and to do it for his glory and honor. so remember even though building our character or loving in the way the bible teaches us to love, can be hard its not just for us or for the ones we hold dear to our heart but for our heavenly fathers kingdom so dont take it lightly.  you never know whos path you may cross or who you could lead to the cross by your simple day to day actions. surprise yourself by going out of your way to act in kindness in this dark unkind world you have nothing to lose but time that isnt ours to begin with. peace and blessings

Cleaning...who really wants to

    Sometimes in life we have things we need to "clean up" and no body really likes that at all. Well i have to clean up alright and it is completely something i dread on my end. I honestly cant say why i loath cleaning so much but i do. Or better yet the dreaded unpacking!! Yes its completely true ive been in my apartment for about 5 months now and i have yet to unpack....That is terrible to admit but when i was younger i was very unstable in my living arrangements so i just dont unpack for lack of thinking it will last. Ive been that way for years. Still no matter what the rhyme or reason it isnt biblical to not "keep my house" and not cleaning it is not keeping it in my book. Then today a dear woman said something to me that even though i already KNEW it, it still struck a nerve. She said "this could be the very thing holding you back Nicole God has entrusted you to this and before you are made a steward or more you need to master this". That statement hit home and hit hard. Like i said i already knew this but having someone with a graceful heart speak this to me in love so I could understand kind of felt like my heavenly father whispering in my ear for only me to hear what he is saying to me. It made a difference and in a positive manner. PRAISE THE MOST HIGH FOR GRACE!!
