I am pretty beat down today. Very busy at work and I just can't seem to get this new job right. No matter what I do, I can't make everyone happy...but I keep trying. At home there is always so much to do, but...its a nice place to be these days and I like that. I no longer wish I was somewhere else now. I thank God for that!

My stepping stone today focused on some good things. I liked reading that my problem is not me....but the enemy of my soul is the source of my problem. I just have to control my thoughts to stay focused on Godly things. I loved the verses form Paul...."What i want to do I dont do....What I do not want to do...thats what I keep doing" WOW that is soooo true! I have the hardest time when I first get up in the morning. For almost a year I woke up to a txt or call from this other man after my husband went to work ...and we txt or talk as I got ready for work. When I wake up...I soooo want to do that. I have even put my phone in the kitchen and set my alarm forward to allow less time to need to get my phone. It works most of the time. I try to spend time in prayer instead. but this morning....sigh. I HATE being so weak. The rest of the day Im so busy and I can stay forcused. Please pray I will get stronger in this area. I am clinging to the verse in my step today..romans 8:6 To be spiritually minded is life and peace. I really want the peace.

I'm so glad to hear things at home are getting better. I want to make a suggestion...in the mornings when you feel the need to text someone...how about sending some to your hubby....he may not be able to answer them right away, but you can leave him messages, that he can read later...this will help you refocus on your hubby and away from the fleshly desire to dial elsewhere.

The enemy of our soul is always lurking about...looking to devour us...therefore we must be watchful and ready...not allowing him to trick us....put on that armor of God every morning, noon and night.

luv ya

Text God. He's there first thing in the morning waiting to hear from you. Not a list of needs and wants and I'm sorries. But a, "Good morning Jesus" and a smile and a desire to be in His presence.

praying for you.

God loves you and so do I.
