'Building a Foundation'

If each day of my life represented a brick laid in a foundation, i wonder what kind of foundation it would be? I think about my days, what they normally look like and imagine that my foundation, as of yet, is probably not laid in the most efficient nor effective of fashions.  I don't roll out of bed on my knees every morning and sometimes don't even acknowledge God and so much as even say hey and good morning to Him for the first hour or so, or at least not consciously.  I rarely get up early enough that I can get a good reading session done in my bible before my children are up and let's face it...once they are up, it is VERY hard to sit down and CONCENTRATE to be able to comprehend what I'm reading.  But there is always hope.  Hope that my desire to know God and my longing to know more of His heart will stir me enough so that i might lay a more solid life foundation.  I mean after all it's on this foundation that the immediate things around us rest.  I am a wife, so therefore if my foundation is not good..then my husbands won't be either (since we are one in accordance with the word), and i am a mother...so then my children will be effected as they rely on me in order to take care of them at there age.  Spiritually God is relying on me to be His representative, a representative with a solid foundation that others can rely on at times for different things.  So right now in my life i am going back to my foundations.  I want to make sure there are no cracks so that as I continue to build daily, everything doesn't come crashing down because i neglected to keep priorities straight, or keep focused on a goal of keeping God first in my life.

'This is the day'

I don't really have a lot to say today.  I do believe today is the most tired i've been so far and the hardest it's been to make myself to not take a nap but rather paint.  I know that it is no where near what aunt carla endures on a daily basis, but even just feeling this way and having to push through it gives me all the more respect for her and how well she handles the things that come her way on a daily basis.  I know that God is obviously with her for her to be striving through this.  God please continue to be with aunt carla.  Bless her mind and her body and Lord anything that the enemy tries to tell her or make her to believe through whatever attacks that come her way, Lord I pray that you will keep her from believing that, but that rather she would continue to believe you and your words to her. Give her life.  Amen
