Distracted

I can't seem to focus these last few weeks. Life has come at me hard once again. I'm getting used to it and the Lord has used all my hard moments to teach me some very valuable truths.

I need to stay focused with my eyes firmly on him. If I don't, I fail miserably. Things get worse. I don't think I can handle worse right now. LOL

Recently I have experienced some disappointment with some friends. Friends I've always been there for, can't seem to be there for me. Again it's all about Focus. I learned long ago not to look at the people around you. Your parents, friends, husband and kids all let you down. They can't help it they are human and therefore sinful. But God has never.... and I mean never. Let me down. Am I always happy with what is happening in my life? NO. Not at all, but the Lord has taught me that Romans 8:28 is true and real and alive in my life.

I hope it is yours.

Romans 8:28
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

April 27th first thoughts

Now that I can actually write something I'm stumped as to where to begin. I have felt for some time now that the Lord wants me to write a book. I just have not taken the time to sit down in this busy life and start. I thought maybe this would be a good place. At least this way I will have something on paper to start with.

I would like to use this blog not just to share my thoughts to those that will listen but to encourage those that might stumble on to this. Who's lives may be full of chaos and they are discouraged.

Many people have lived harder lives than I of that I'm sure. But I have definitely had my share of heartache and roller coaster living to give some hope. They can survive if they can just Focus.

Some of the things I share will be hard to write down. But I am determined to share the truth. To shine a light of some very harsh reality.

In some small way I hope it helps you. I pray it paves a way to heal you.

That heart this is my Daily Focus.
