Difficulty is What Difficulty Does...

Do you ever tend to make things more difficult than what they should be? I would raise my hand but I am typing this post right now. I don't make things difficult all the time, but enough. I get frustrated with myself as far as overthinking things. As a result, I end wasting a lot of time and not accomplishing anything. When this happen, I have to pause and pray to God for knowledge, understanding, even a sense of direction.

All this "making thing difficult" is only the result of me trying to lean on my own understanding. I know that God will deliver me of this. I will let go and let God flow. His ways are not my ways, and they are whole lot easier.

I refer to Proverb 3:3-6 and also one of my life scriptures
Psalm 25:4-5.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverb 3:5-6)

"Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day."

Heavenly Father, Thank you for helping me not to make things harder on me than it has to be. I pray that I will always incline my ear to your word and instruction. I no longer lean to my own understanding, but I will always acknowledge you. So, that you will direct my paths. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Get Some Rest....If Needed

Well, it's Monday...again. But, it's all good. I woke up this morning with it raining outside. It's been raining pretty much all day. Sometimes, I kind of struggle with getting out of my bed on Monday mornings. But I didn't. I got right out of bed. Maybe it has something to do with being in bed since 10pm last night.

10 o'clock at night is very early for me to go to bed, especially when I'm so use to going to bed at 11 pm or 12 am. Trust me, going to bed around that time every night has the tendacy of catching up with you and not in a good way. So, I definitely don't make it habit of going to bed that late each night.

Going to bed that late sometimes, can make you feel really tired and sluggish. If or when I am feeling that way, when I get off of work, I definitely try to squeeze in a nap. Otherwise, I am no good for my family the rest of the evening, since I do have to help with homework, prepare and cook dinner, and on and on and on.


Many people don't realize that you cannot neglect your body when it come to getting some rest. I know with a busy schedule it's easier said than done. However, if don't take the time to give your body the rest it so desperately needs, your body will shut down and force you to make the time. And if it ever gets to that point, that means your immune system has very high and possibly chance of becoming weak, which will make your body vulnerable to the flu, infections, and etc.

So be wise with your body as I will be wise with mine and get enough rest or sleep. Remember, no matter how much we try, we are not superwoman.


Blessings to you all, always!!
