Several points resonated with me and I am putting them into practice more and more. I am focusing on being less busy (being under Satan's yoke). I remember Beth Moore saying once that "if the devil can't lead you to destruction, he will lead you to distraction". I am repeating the mantra "I am not in control and I never will be" over and over (especially when my toddler is covered in spaghetti and my oldest is running laps in the house naked!) I wrote out my "do" and "don't" list and it really was liberating. I've even encouraged a few friends to do the same. Lastly, I am setting my sights on attending She Speaks next summer. I know God has called me to participate and lead women closer to him. He gave me a tough testimony to mature me into the woman I am today and I can't wait to see what he wants to do with me next. Thank you for your guidance.<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you again,<BR/><BR/>Julie StaleyJStaleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786034630647619221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-22117648211209129902007-09-11T11:04:00.000-04:002007-09-11T11:04:00.000-04:00These were wonderful tips.
