Okay.....I am not consistent....

It seems like the harder I try the worse I get.  So I guess I will just go with the flow.   Things at work are smoothing out and I am not sure if its me or others but I am happy with the results and I am praising God for the peace that I have at work.  Its funny how things can be so bad and all of a sudden its all over.   I have been thinking about writing a book lately, well actually I have always wanted to write a book.  That is one of the things on my bucket list.  I really have a heart for wives that are struggling to be submissive and godly wives.  (Maybe when I figure it out I can write that book)  Another book I would like to write is about stay at home moms and how they can deal with the long days at home, make a transition from work to home,  and just keep their sanity doing it.  Two of my girls have done this and I have watched as they get slammed with the emotions and expectations (some unrealistic) that have come with the changes.  I made the change a couple of times and as I look back I realize that I could have done better and just didn't realize I was having such a hard time.  Then I went back to school at 45 and made a major life change that really caused all kinds of bumps in the road.  We tend to call it life, but really we bring a lot of the stuff on ourselves, and we wade through it and then wonder why we are so wiped out at the end.  DUH!!!   Anyway, as life rocks on it does have some really hard spots in it and we have to go through those spots.  I fully believe that God prepares us for those times and we can handle them, nothing says that it will be easy or a joyful experience or fun.  Sometimes we have to go through things to have the wisdom and knowledge to know how to help others at some later time, sometimes its to make us stronger to be able to handle a bigger event later on (isn't that encouraging?). But for what ever reason, God is totally in control, He never leaves us on our own.  I feel like God has brought me through some situations soley to be able to strengthen me and teach me so I can pass the strength and wisdom on to others.  What has God brought you through, or taught you and what are you doing with it?  If you are waiting for God to do something, maybe He is waiting for you to do something with what He has already given you.  Think about it.  I think I will try to make some progress toward using some of the things He has given me,  why don't you?
