A New Month and Day 2 of the Thirty Day Challenge

This was Day 2 of my 30 day challenge to start my day a half hour earlier. When I awoke to go the bathroom just after midnight, I thought how hard it might be to not rely on the snooze alarm six hours later. When it was 1 a.m. and I was still awake, I worried that the challenge might be in danger so early in the game.  When my dear husband woke me up closing a window just after I'd finally fallen back to sleep I was getting discouraged. When I was wide awake at 2 a.m. and reading in order to try to tire myself, I was convinced that I'd have my first failure at my new habit. But instead I rose to the occasion, thanks to having prepared well the night before. And here I was leaving our house not at 8:15 or 8:30, but at 7:46.  Yay me.
I'm celebrating my success this first day of October.  I look forward to the month ahead and all that it offers. I am honored and delighted to be living her in this place at this time. I am blessed beyond measure with friends and a small but absolutely wonderful family. Happy October, y'all.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
