Now, that was a mouthful, wasn't it? I was thinking this morning as I do quite often about keeping the spiritual and the physical balanced. As a follow of Christ, you'd think it wouldn't be that hard but it is. On one hand, I long to be the next culinary wonder and on the other hand, I struggle with my motives. I know that the gifts I have come from Him...no problem. I know He is pleased when I use them...no problem. I know my gifts are to bring Him glory...no problem. The problem I have is keeping the balance between my passion for Him and my passion for the gifts He's given me. I happen to believe that at no time should the use of the gifts supercede the true focus...Him. Practically speaking, what can I do? I tend to get carried away quite easily and focus of any kind is a true problem for me. Here's my plan. Hey and if you've got any suggestions, feel free to chime in. I'm open to hearing what He may have to say through you!...okay Jane FOCUS...back to the plan.
Start each day with prayer.
Attempt to stay in communion with Him moment by moment.
Recognize as I use the gifts they come from Him.
Spend more time in His word, ie, the Bible.
Watch for how God is at work around me.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
"heavy sigh"...the journey continues.

Going to print it out and put it where I can see it. Good God Plan. Love ya Sister!
You are truly remarkable and God loves you. If He resides in your heart and head, you are always in communion with Him. I find that He shows me approval in the most miniscule way when I'm least expecting it. I see your God-given talent in all your FB postings daily. Kept up the good work!
Love you, too!
