MONDAY ME, REALLY?

Today is Monday and I was going to blog about a completely different subject but the day has gone a completely different direction so why stay on the beaten path?

Church use to be a main focus in my life. The Hubbie was in ministry for 30 years, as you know. Now, since my on the job injury, I barely make it one hour per week. I come home, hit the aspirin bottle and the heating pad. I'm such a wimp. Yesterday, the body required a pain patch and the heating pad and the aspirin. Bummer.

My little voice said to me several times, better do this and that or the other today. Did I listen? Why should I? Tomorrow is Monday, I can do it tomorrow. After all, you have 12 triple the coupon coupons, you will do good.

Well, the store is out, the coupons expire tomorrow and I am enjoying a different plan for the day, as well as tomorrow.

My point of this blog is, do you listen to your little voice? Everyone has one, women more than men. When I follow mine, it usually works out. When I don't, there is usually a different plan that would have gone much smoother if I had listened to the voice.

Oh well, it's okay. This is a good deal, too. So what if my triple the coupons expire? Some things in life are way better than triple coupons.

But still I am wondering, I talk to myself enough, why don't I listen?

I have learned to listen to my inner speaking...when I don't I always regret it. I believe it is part of the method God uses to direct us. God reveals himself via the Bible--through the written word he speaks, but he also dwells within me--my body = his temple: and I believe he speaks to me in that still small voice just like he spoke to Moses of old.

Dear Carol, I knew you had mentioned a work injury, but I had no idea you struggled so much physically that even church was a challenge. It makes me think of the things I really want to do, but put off til later... what if something interferes with my "later"? Thanks for reminding me! I tried to catch your eye in church Sunday, but you sit so far from me. Still, it was wonderful to see you there, my sister in the Lord.
