    What Do You Do When You Have No Direction??

    In this episode, I share a story of a recent "no win" situation that I stressed over, to the point of frustration with God for not giving me direction.  A few moments before the situation came to the decision point, the decision was taken out of my hands!  I never needed that direction!  Sometimes I take on too much responsibility, too much worry.  I try too hard to make everything nice.  It's ok if everything isn't always nice.  Things will work out in the end, and even if the result isn't what I wanted, I'll be alright.  You will too. This episode's "something sweet":  John Curtis Band Plays at St. Francis Villa Get up and dance with us!!!

    What to Do When You Can't Take it Anymore (And also King Cake)

    1 Kings 19. Elijah’s Breaking Point! After an epic battle, major political unrest, betrayal and a threat to his life, Elijah broke.  What did he do? Spent some time alone Was HONEST with God and himself about how he felt Rested Ate Traveled FORTY DAYS AND NIGHTS. I had somehow missed this part.  Everything had come to a climax.  There was an emergency!  An urgency!  Shouldn’t he DO SOMETHING? But he went away, ALONE, told God all about it, rested, ate, and then he walked forty days and nights.  He basically did nothing. Once he got FORTY DAYS away from the crisis, he was able to listen, recognize the presence of God and hear His instruction.  Then he moved forward with what to do next. God had other stuff for him to do.  Elijah never did get killed by Jezebel.  It was a while before he even came in contact again with Ahab and Jezebel, and when he did, Elijah was in complete control and spoke the message of God. Let your feelings be what they are.  Be honest with yourself and God about what they are.  You cannot deal with what you don’t acknowledge. Take some time alone Rest and restore yourself Let some distance pass between you and the crisis.  Avoid the pressure to do something NOW, say something NOW. Instead, look to God.  Listen for His voice.  Observe His power.  Then follow His direction. SOMETHING SWEET!!!  King Cake!!!  Get one for yourself and those you love.  Even if you don't live in NOLA.  Here's my top favorite mentioned:  Dong Phuong  I also REALLY like LaLouisiane.  Seriously.  Get some.  It's Mardi Gras, after all!!!
