reminded of His anointing

"Now it is God who makes both

us and you stand firm in Christ.

He anointed us,

set His seal of ownership on us,

and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

Responsibility lies on my shoulders to make wise decisions for an entire group of people. Feeling overwhelmed at times, it is a daily battle against fear and worry. Once a few more i's are dotted, it will get easier for a time, but for now I go on keeping fear at bay only by the grace of God.

God spoke the above verses to me this morning in my daily devotional and my soul leapt for joy at the reminder of His power...His control...His choosing...His anointing.

God's got this.

It's going to work out for His glory.

He will show Himself mighty.

One step at a time, He will lead me along His path, not only for me, but also for those I am to lead.

He is that awesome!

it's not about me

I reminded myself of this recently. It's not about me at all, this wellness journey I am on to a healhier version of myself. Not at all. Never has been, really. It is about the people who invest in me. My husband. My boys. My family. My friends. They all share themselves with me. When I am not at my best, I'm not giving them a good return for their investment. They get the tired looks, the lack of energy excuses, and the wimpy "maybe next time" cop outs. I have come to realize that those that take precious time to invest in me deserve better from me. I need to adhere to the direction given on any flight I've ever been on that goes something like this: make sure your own oxygen mask is properly secured before helping others. If I don't take care of myself first, my ability to care for others effectively diminishes quickly. My choosing clean eating, drinking enough water, and exercising on a daily basis is how I put on my mask first. Am I perfect at meetin...

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here. I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta. The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart. I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...
