... Even the worst heartaches can become heartstrings to God's hope, comfort, encouragement, joy, peace and love...

Welcome! As a fan of the cartoon character Maxine, I enjoy her witty remarks. But when I
read my blogs & other writing to her, she's not very responsive- even when I'm wearing my bunny slippers like hers! She just doesn't get it!
Although she's funnier than I am, I do pray that this site will bring encouragement to your day! I'd love to hear from you! Unlike Maxine, you can leave me a message via the Comments. Shalom, Connie

What Am I To Do?

Yesterday we talked about following God's plan. There are many books on how to know God's will or plan for you; so I'm not going into a great deal of detail here. I do have a few suggestions though.

Identify your passion(s) versus your desires. Think of it like needs versus wants. Your deep passions are placed there by God and you probably knew them as a child. As we grow up we often put them on hold, but they are still there. What did you love to do as a child? If you had no restraints, what would you want to do now?

Also look at your talents and skills. Unsure? Ask your friends or compare yourself with your siblings. What does each person do well?

Ask God to show you. Be sure to watch for the answer. It may come as an idea, a comment from someone, an opportunity, an article in your favorite magazine. Whatever way it comes, you must be expecting an answer.

Tomorrow, we talk about being made in God's image.

Selah-

Shalom, Connie

Friday prayer focus is family and friends.
