Yesterday was one of those days. The morning rush. Lunches, coats, hats, boots. Out the door by 9 am. Preschool drop offs. nurse.......preschool pickups.nurse.....clean..type and meet..middle school pickups...church service...nursery duty...somehow everyone got fed and home at 10 pm. Whew. I made it. My one goal: To make it to my bed. On days like these I feel like I'm in a daze. Things pressing on every side, extra long to do lists, promises unkept. The word "mommy" spoken 5,000 times to share the sweetest bit of information. Papers signed and teenage talk. Could I spare an ounce of time for my Jesus? Could he keep me focused? No matter what I face each day, in the midst I feel God with me-keeping me on track. Yeah, I mess up. Lots of times, but then He's there again to get me back to where I need to be. The positive results outweighs the hurry of yesterday. Chris Gilkey prophesied over Shelby and Greg. God moved in their lives and brought them closer to Him. A grandma from our church whose grand kids have been praying for 2 years was healed of back pain! A true miracle. Glory to God.
Philip. 3:14 (NIV) "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
So as I enter halfway through this day, I choose to press on. May God's priorities become my objectives. As we start Silver Ring Thing(SRT-abstinence program for teens) tonight with the teenagers, I realize that we will be invading the devil's territory. I need God's strength to fill me and up and cover me with the armor of God so we will be able to "extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one". I will not be naive about the spiritual war that will take place tonight. I will passionately pray in the spirit for our leaders, teachers, parents and students. That the Holy Spirit would fill us with a fresh anointing to change the lives of teenagers for generations to come. May God keep me focused today.
