ONCE AGAIN

So  much for being more regular-hah!  Well again I am telling myself to do a blog every Monday before everything else, well after devotions, of course, and maybe breakfast and coffee too and ...

No, definitely before anything else so here I am.  My latest comment and sense of overcoming emotions about old age is this.  Lately it seems like time and I are in a race and time is winning out big time.  I want to ignore it or come out victorious or depend on the lesson of the tortoise and the hare - slow and steady wins the race.

Heaven knows I am SLOW so what's the problem?  Why don't I feel like the victor in it?  I definitely do not feel like I'm winning any victory in anything.  I do no accomplish all I wish to do in any given day.  I do not become more efficient, more productive, more successful or more determined to complete or even begin all those things I want to do or need to do or-on and on it goes.

What to do; what to do?  Funny I haven't thought to pray about it.  I pray about everything and I do mean everything so why have I not brought this to the Lord and begged His assistance, His wisdom, His overcoming power, His Holy Spirit comfort in it all?  Today I will do that.  Today I will follow through on the things I planned to do today.  Just today to accomplish it will help me to know I can continue to do it again tomorrow.

I won't plan to do too many things - just a few so I don't defeat myself from the get go.  So far so good.  I did my devotions.  Doing my blog.  Have a crafting idea I need to work on for a possible Christmas item I could beg my dear sweet friends to buy as gifts.  But it means I have to make it become a finished product first.  Yes, there's the problem.  Am I going to make it work or not?  Am I creative enough to pull it off?  I haven't a clue.  So far I can't quite get it to cooperate, but am going to keep on trying.  That will be enough to challenge myself with today.

If I have any followers,  then I  hope and pray you too can face whatever factors of getting older are driving you crazy and you will meet them with boldness, self-confidence and a trust that by God's grace we can and will face it all and be the victor.
