Reflection of today

I went to Austin Hill Country Ladies Section Connection.

So glad I went! Sis. Lakay, Sis. Megan Harlow, Sis. Betty, Sis. Connie, Sis. Beth went as well, so glad for familiar faces! It made me think back to when I was a young person barely knowing anyone at church service; made me kind of nervous. I got used to knowing everyone, recognizing faces while in NC. Fun to meet new people! I do miss NC, especially mi madre and my brother & sister! Which tomorrow is my mom's birthday, by the way, hint hint! So, if you see her tomorrow at church tomorrow be sure to give her a hug!

Some good quotes from the connection, etc!

Balance is not only a subject, it's an action, a state of being, to make equivilent, and the leftover in a bank account. (not quoted verbatim)

You need to find joy in balance.

Keep your eyes on God in the strorm. (Like Peter walking on the water, he took his eyes off Jesus and he started to falter; it was because he started looking at the storm and not at Jesus).

- Sis. Dimity DeLano

God does things in perfect order.
God wants to give you power.
You have to be obedient.

(Not verbatim) 

- Sis. Diana Milligan


Forum: Finding Balance in my world

Some good tid-bits from this...

❂ What are some warning signs that your decisions are being based off emotions and not spirit lead?

- Your mood affects your decisions.
- Spontaneous decisions, then second guessing yourself.

We need to look at the word of God for help in making decisions. The word of God is infallible, always true! There is such wisdom to be learned in the scriptures! Everything you need to know is in HIS word! He has all the answers. We serve a big God! All powerful! Do not forget just how big a God you serve!

❂ How do I balance my finances?

- Live within your means!
- Budget!
- Discipline!
- Think on what you need vs. what you want.

"Information without application leads to frustration."

❂ How can I sure that I am fully spiritually?

- Make sure you have discipline.
- Start with what you can do.
- Do not set yourself up for disappointment (setting unattainable goals) (Start off small)
