I am amazed at how easily I can slip into that place of self-sufficiency – staying busy taking care of important and necessary details of life, but forgetting the most important thing; sitting at my Father’s feet.
This past Wednesday night, I was reminded of how Peter and the boys were blessed after they were honest in answering Jesus’ question; have you any fish? Most fisherman – I learned – do not like to admit they haven’t caught any fish after being out on the water for any length of time, it could imply they don’t know what they are doing.
What a revelation to me – I had to come to the feet of Jesus and admit I don’t know what I am doing – my nets are empty. As I poured out my heart before him regarding our new journey of unknowns, peace flooded my soul and I was able to relax for the first time in weeks.
My “To Do” list is still long, but now I face it with ease, first spending time with my Lord, trusting him to fill my “net” with my daily needs and knowing he will make the path clear when it is time to take the next step.
When Jesus taught us how to pray, I don’t think it was a mistake when he said, “give us day by day, our daily bread”. One day at a time is enough.
If you have been running on empty pretending to be full, stop. Spend time at the feet of Jesus, admit your net is emtpy and let him fill it with the proper fuel.
Blessings to you! T

A Weekend Away Brings New Perspective and Tools for Daily Living
Greetings my dear friends!
This past weekend I was blessed to go to the coast for a weekend away with the gals (about 40). The theme for our retreat was "Calm in the Storm". Such an appropriate title for many of us these days.
The Theme verses was, "They Cried out..God stilled the storm to a whisper..." Psalm 107:28 & 29
Can you imagine God calming our storms to a whisper if we would only stop and cry out to him instead of trying to row our own boat - this may be fine when there is a gentle stream, but when life is anything but a dream...
Much of the point was calling on God before the storms come. Having a close relationship with our Father especially when times are good, so that we are better prepared for the storm. The great thing about God, though, is that even if we wait, he is faithful to respond.
I pray we will all draw near to God at all times! Pray without ceasing and keep our spiritual muscles in shape!
I wanted to share a short article I wrote about this weekend, which includes a "survival kit for everyday" that was passed out to us at the retreat. Click here to read. Feel free to print that list out if it blesses you
May God bless you and may you feel his loving arms around you!
Hugs, Teresa
