It is a beautiful day at the beach. The sun is bright and the wind is calm. There is not one person on the beach. Not even me. I was on it earlier and it was just long enough to make me not want to go to work today. I have a client today that I dread dealing with. I would rather stay home and work on promoting my books and writing my new one. I would rather do my dishes and vacume. I would rather pull my fingernails out with pliers than go to work today!
But I am reminded:
Jesus had a job to do...
He prayed to God to let him out of it...
the answer He wanted to hear did not come...
He submitted to the will of His father...
and He went to work...
and I was saved.
Who knows who will be blessed today if I go to work?
At this point I don't see it being me.
Maybe the dreaded client will be blessed by my reluctant but submissive presence.
I hope so...
I pray so...
Somebody better get blessed out of me not getting to enjoy this beautiful day outside.
That's it.
I'm done.
Gotta get dressed.
Gotta go.
Heavy sigh.................

I love reading your writing! It always feels like your talking to me. I felt the same way today without the beach part of course, though I can imagine it, being outside. It was beautiful. Though the blessing I've longed for of making the money I need was not filled today, there was a blessing at the complete END of the day. It's amazing how answers you pray for and seek come in the form of other's that are actually asking those same questions to themselves. One of the things taught in training at work and also repeated "constantly" at work in meetings are.."you gotta get back to the basics, with every deal, every single day". Back to the basics! Do you remember the, "Why did God create man"? HA! Basics! Relearning how to pray, rereading the beginning of God's Word, Refreshing WHY we're all here. To serve God..period! After talking with a man about the basics, I felt refreshed and new. I could look at the mood I was in and the things going on lately and start again so to speak. It only takes an instant in someone's life for it to change. Someone keeps pushing me to loose it. The Devil in the form of a person..is my original opinion. But I prayed for an answer to what to do and I got it. Keep saying what is coming to your mind about positive things, keep talking about God, thinking, learning, loving God and the Devil will either get stronger until he breaks or leave. I know he never leaves completely, but long enough for one to breath if you ask for help. It was a beautiful day. And I'm thankful for everything I have, including but not limited to my family and God's love.
