This is for those of you, and others, that have decided to take my "challenge".
I received this email, and I thought that this might really encourage you (or it may just really hurt! I had a hard time reading it!! :)). This is so true for many of us, definitely me!! :).
I hope that all of "the challenged" are doing well on the challenge! I am afraid that I am not very regular, and I am still so quick to forget that worshiping Him is more important than worrying about our daily life all of the time!! :)
I also must confess that I have been rather worried and a little scared about this election. Thankfully, God has blessed me with such a peace that I know that whoever wins, God is in control! It has been so wonderful to not worry about whether or not so and so is going to win. Whoever wins, God has a plan, and we can only see a very small portion of it, while He is looking at the whole of it!! (He is probably laughing to Himself thinking "You silly people! I have it under control!! I know the whole plan, you don't! Why do you run around like chickens with your heads cut off when something you don't like happens? I am in control!!" don't you think? :))
(Romans 13:1)
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease..... All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said 'Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down... But never found the time'
Now do you have the time to spend with God?
RE AD THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY. . If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.
Love, Sarah

I have been doing good. I look at it this way, when I do something for some one I like to hear a thank you.God appreciates our thanks as well. So for everything that amazes me, or takes my breath away, I remember to say "Thank you Jesus". I know that its at those times He is trying to reach out to me, and I love that! Here is one of my favorite verses,
The Lord is good; a stronghold in the day of trouble and He knows those that trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7
He knows us, doesnt that just amaze you. He, the Lord of the universe, Creator of all, knows me!I am so thankful!
Love you and miss you bunches.
Mountain Momma, I have that Nahum verse up over my desk. I love it as well. Great brains think alike or else God knew that we both needed to be reminded that He is our refuge. Love and miss you all.
That is a really good way to remember to pray! You want to be thanked for what you do, so why shouldn'y we thank God also? I will remember that in the future!
I am doing ok on it, although I tend to be forgetful! It helps a lot to think about how the election turned out because I know that God is in control, so I then remember to pray. :)
I am glad that you took the challenge! I was hoping more would do it, but we will be able to hold each other accountable. :)
Love and miss ya bunches!
Sarah
