Well done...

Happy Friday!!!!!

I am still determined to strive to make everyday a FRIDAY! Why is it that on Friday everyone has an extra stride in their step? A little extra joy? That special feeling that the work week is about over! I want to live everyday like FRIDAY!!

Storytime~

So I can't trust leaving my dogs out to roam and do their biz because they will wonder off to the neighbors or just chow down on poo. Sorry TMI but it's just the truth. So I have to stand at my door or outside on the doorstep and watch my dogs go do their biz one at a time. This morning I realized that when I get impatient waiting and call for Riley (in a mean impatient mommy tone) she turns and slowly walks towards me like oh man I'm in trouble and when I say slowly I mean the dog barely moves at all. But when she starts obeying me I start praising her saying, "Good Girl, Riley! Come! Good Girl!" because I'm happy she's obeying and suddenly she's happy too and gets a certain stride in her step and even starts running towards me sometimes. She's happy that I'm happy and I'm happy she's being obedient! Then it hits me~ why am I not like this with God more? My main goal should be to be His hands and feet and to want to obey Him at all times and have that stride in my step and even run towards Him! My goal at the end of the day should be to hear God say, "Well done my faithful servant!"

Moriah Peters has a new song out based on the verse Matthew 25:21 and as I think about how my dog Riley gets a stride in her step for being a good girl and making mommy happy I too should get a stride in my step for doing my heavenly father's work and hearing Him say well done.

Lyrics to Well Done :

So let my life speak loud and clear
Lord, I wanna hear

Well done, well done
I'm gonna chase You, Lord
I'm gonna show the world Your love, woah
I'll run, I'll run
I'm gonna run this race
To hear You say well done

I'm so glad that I get to serve You, Lord
You're the only One I am living for, woah
I'm gonna run straight into Your open arms
I'm gonna follow You with my all heart, woah, woah

I know my ultimate goal needs to be getting my mind off of myself and onto others. Reaching out more and getting out of my comfort zone! Running this race and finishing right! It's not too late!!

Never Give Up!

Back on Track

by Joyce Meyer - posted September 21, 2012

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born
anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
—Ephesians 2:10

We are God's own handiwork. He created us with His own hands. We got messed up, so we had to be recreated in Christ Jesus. We had to be born again so that we could go ahead and do those good works that God had preplanned and predestined for us before Satan tried to ruin us.

Just because you and I have had trouble in our lives or just because we have made mistakes does not mean that God's plan has been changed. It is still there. All we have to do is get back on track.
