This mornings post is by no means intended to ask for sympathy or even praise from anyone. Its intention is to show anyone who reads my feeble words just how great My God is. One day this past week, after several early morning arrivals and late nights at KOK I almost lost it. You see, those who know me well, know I will kill myself planning, organizing and getting everything just the way I want it before school starts because I know I will be stressed once the kids arrive if I dont...right Judith Brunson Jones? Not sure if it was the long hours, lack of sleep, eating whatever I could grab, workload or a combination of all, but I felt like the walls were caving in and if I didnt get out of that office I would scream. So close to tears, I walked down the hall, pass my sweet husband on his knees painting and saidI gotta get out of here for a minute, and just kept going. Once outside I just kept walking and started talking to The Lord asking Him to please help me keep my focus...give me that joy I felt the night I got the call the job was mine...help me not get bogged down with the STUFF but remember why He called me to this position. Immediately a verse that normally doesnt come to me often entered my thoughts...John 10:10...The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy: I am come that you (Me...Lisa) May have life and have it more abundantly. That was it...God was reminding me He had a plan for my life and it was a good plan but Satan was out to destroy that plan...if I allowed him. So I kept walking, cause you see I thought what I needed was my best friends (XXXtreme FUNNY friends) to just vent to for a while. But what My Daddy had planned was SO much better. I opened the back door to the church, walked down the hall and was greeted by the biggest smile on the prettiest little face this side of heaven. She saw me, ran and jumped in my arms and said...Mrs. Lisa...Ive missed you so much...I sure do love you. Maggie and I sat down and I held on to her like there was no tomorrow and within 15 min she was fast asleep, still holding onto me. I love you Maggie Beavers and I thank you for allowing God to use you to remind me what His plan is for my life.
