Making The Most Of Your Resources
I found this Women of Faith devo at Sam's of all places and bought it because it seems to be just what I need this summer. It's all about viewing my time, energy, and $ from God's P.O.V. and learning how to manage it all better. I'm just gonna post some interesting quotes for your viewing pleasure ;P
-When we're children, we have a lot of time and energy but no money. When we're working adults, we have money and some energy but never enough time to spend either. When we're older and in the retirement years, we have time on our hands and (hopefully) money saved up but where's the energy we need to enjoy life?
-God comes into our life and multiplies my joy as I divide my energy. He adds strength to my character as I subtract activities I don't need to be doing.
-Whatever I have, I'm finding when I look at it from God's perspective, it's enough.
-Sometimes the most amazing displays of God's goodness are found in the tiniest aspects of God's creation
-When God gives us great things, we can't help but want to share His goodness with others.
-We need to be able to distinguish the needs that we are uniquely designed to fulfill as well as prioritize the opportunities that God sends our way.
-Choose to embrace generosity as a lifestyle and learn to celebrate all the gifts God has entrusted to you.

btw
I got the dream job!
It was an absolute test of faith... To believe my plans are safer in His hands than mine. To believe that He's got it all under control and it is not MY job to fiercely protect my heart from disappointment. To believe that I could RISK clinging to His promises without expecting some consolation prize. It was a real revelation of God's character, that I need not be afraid of uttering my dreams out loud - the whole Abraham and Isaac thing - because He is a good Father who knows how to give good gifts to His children (and unlike my earthly father whom, I regret to say, I always lived with fearful suspicion). I know He kept me from leaving my previous job for 3 years so He could receive the MOST glory possible by delivering me in just the right moment. All praise to Him for giving me this desire of my heart because He loves me!
How has He shown you He loves you today?
