Yesterday was a very productive day for me. I went to Gatti Town to support other like minded people who don't want our children brainwashed by a president who has done nothing but take "hope" away from us. Then I stopped by a friend's workplace to show her the new Scentsy catalog. She ordered 2 warmers and a bar, so I was VERY happy with that visit! Then we went to Hamburg to search for some tiered plant stands for my event displays and for small cases to have more basket parties going at the same time. Good news: I found the perfect basket tester cases. Bad news: No such luck with the plant stands. I also stopped by a couple of places about putting my warmers in their business for a display for a week or two. I was exhausted when we got home, but continued to be productive. I wrote out invitations for my cousin's party coming up next weekend, made rice crispie treats, made some business calls, spent a little bit of time with my family (not much, I'll sadly admit) and then got on my team training call at 9 (while trying to catch some of America's Got Talent Semi-finals). Caught up on my e-mails (kind of) and forced myself to lay down at 11:30. It was close to 1 again when I finally fell asleep.
After ALL that I did yesterday, there is still SO much left undone. And then I think about the Bible verse about seeking God FIRST and all these things will be added to you. MAN, I didn't get it right at all yesterday did I? How many days do I get it right? Not enough! It's SO hard to put God first when there is so much here that you think needs done. Can you agree with that? Maybe if we really start putting God FIRST, then everything else will somehow fall into place. It's amazing how things change when you start following the principles in the Bible. It's just like tithing. God says to test him and see if the windows of Heaven will not open up and pour out more blessing than you can imagine. It's true. God has never failed us. There are times when we have felt that way, but when the situation changed (after we thought it was too late, but God was right on time), we could see that he had a plan all along. He was making us stronger. He really tested our faith in Him. I'm asking you to join me and start putting God FIRST. Read your Bible in the morning while you are eating breakfast. Pray more! Have you ever fasted to pray for a great need? Maybe you should give it a try. Go to church! You don't have to, but it's great to be surrounded by loving people and getting fed the Word of God by a highly anointed person. If you don't have a church home, I would love to have you join me at ours. That's enough for now. Hopefully my next blog will be about all the breakthroughs we are having because I'm trying harder to put God first! Let me know your stories too!
