Relax!

Standard

Vacation Day vs Work Day!!

My “get-up-in-the-morning-on-vacation” routine:

Wake up when I feel like it…

Do my stretches first, so I can move, when I finally get out of bed…

Grab some coffee…

Sip it slowly…

Savor the moment…

Call someone, if I want to…

Watch a little TV, if there’s something good on…

Read a little…

Throw in a load of wash, maybe…

Sweep the sand off the floor…

  Clean up a few cups and plates in the sink…

Look outside and see my husband enjoying his fishing time…

And talking to people walking on the beach…

Check my e-mail…

Talk to my son while he’s on his computer doing his graduate work…

And telling me funny things to make me laugh!

P. S.  Moms, I remember when my son  was young, I fantasized about getting a room at a local hotel, all by myself!

So I promise you, it does get better!!

Get ready to go to take a walk on the beach…

Take photos of God’s amazing scenery…

Meet hubby to go in the Jacuzzi…

Talk to fellow vacationers…

Figure out where we want to go to dinner tonight!

Eat good food…

Go to a movie…

Go to Candy Kitchen to get loads of candy…

Take a walk…

Watch God’s glorious sunset…

Stay up late…

Whatever we want…

It doesn’t get better than this!

Work on the other hand…

Whether inside or outside the house…

Is just not relaxing enough to talk about right now…

While I’m in my “relaxed-and-on-a-vacation” mood!!

It brings back, too many frustrating and exhausting memories!  Ha!

That I’ve chosen to forget about during this week!

I suggest you try to go on a vacation soon!

This is the blessed life!!

I pray I always appreciate the time I get to relax with my family!

Thank you, Jesus!

satan, I refuse…

Standard

I’m reading Kingdom Man:  Every Man’s Destiny, Every Woman’s Dream by Dr. Tony Evans…

What a powerful book!

Here’s what I learned from it…

satan I refuse…

To ever compare my life with anyone else’s…

To ever live beneath my purpose…

To ever think of my son as anything less than a Kingdom Man in the making…

To ever lower my standard of conduct to the world’s level..

To ever listen to enemy lies about me, or my family…

To ever let you have control of our thoughts, actions, or dreams…

To ever give up hope that my purpose is far greater than any pain to pursue it…

To ever let you convince me to give in to exhaustion…(Dr. Evans says, “Exhaustion is only a word!”)

To ever be swayed by the majority…If I’m in the minority on a matter, so be it!

To ever allow you to dethrone my ruler-JESUS!  He rules me, not you!

To ever teach “religion” without teaching about the divine authority of Christ…

To ever seek the world’s answer to problems…Only my God’s opinion matters to me…

To ever be governed by anything, or anyone…

To ever be only a fan of Jesus, but rather a devoted follower instead!

To ever be content to sit on the sidelines…but  rather, to always live to represent my King Jesus!

To ever allow anyone, or anything, to overrule God’s authority in my life…especially you!

To ever place myself under anyone’s rule, except for my Lord God’s absolute rule…

To ever lose sight of Jesus Christ’s absolute prototype for my life…I was made to reflect Him only!

To ever disobey God, my Father in any way…

To ever be out of alignment with God & His Kingdom commandments…

“Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

James 4:7

“Jesus turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.'”

Matthew 16:23

I Can’t Complain!

Standard

This was my playmate today…

He spent the day watching and waiting…

For fish from all the fishermen (my husband included!)

The boats and jet skis didn’t deter him…

And he didn’t mind having his photo taken…

Although he did have some competition…

He’s well fed and now the day is ending…

We both had a great day!  And I feel blessed!  Thanks, Lord!

Ahhhh….

Standard

This is the only thing on my schedule for today…

To sit quietly and take in God’s Sunset…

To think about my day, and dream about tomorrow…

To feel so blessed to know the Creator of this beauty…

To realize the importance of getting quiet…

And to stand in awe…

Of simple pleasures…

And of Your Majesty…

Goodnight Lord, thank you for this beautiful day…

I Don’t Even Know What Day It Is!!!

Standard

And…I don’t even care…

I’m on my “So-I-Can-Write” Vacation!!

At the Beach…

Yippee!!

Thanks for coming along with me!

I’m enjoying my new friends…

The lively show in the water…

And playing in the surf…

We’re waiting for you to catch up and join us!

Drop all your cares and baggage…

Hurry, the sun is setting…

On another peaceful day…Amen!

I Need A “So-I-Can-Write” Vacation!

Standard

And I’m bringing you all along with me!

Where I’ll  also have time to read all your amazing posts…

And make comments to everyone!

We’ll be at the beach…

My husband will be fishing…

My son will be on his computer…

 Playing games with his friends…

Or working on his graduate classes…

I’ll be sleeping late…

Ahhhhhh!

During my leisure breakfast…

I’ll get to think and write…

And think and read…

No laundry…

No cleaning the house…

No errands…

No business phone calls…

No trudging through the junk mail…

Or paying the bills…

My biggest decision will be which of the many Drafts I’ve started…

Would I like to finally finish and Publish!  Ha!

Then, I’ll take my Kindle, and read a bit on the beach…

Or take a leisure walk…

And think about where I’d like to go for dinner…

Now that I’m working part-time I’m going to savor this vacation…

And squeeze every ounce of rest and relaxation out of it I can find!!

Amen!
