She is clothed....

Yep...my motto.  And honestly one of the bible verses that keeps me going on a daily basis. Many times I would LOVE to give people a piece of my mind but honestly I would rather not burn a bridge unnecessarily.  I've learned, over the years, that most of the time it's better to be kind than right. 

Grants, reports and sunshine.

I'm relaunching my blog with a new title! 

It is fall----which means a lot of things: new school year, football, leaves and pumpkins.  But for me it is the most hectic season of grant writing and reports.   Today I'm enjoying a duel screen method with a large dose of sunshine. 

My goal is to be thankful every day for God's grace. Today I'm thankful for sunshine and peaceful days....what are YOU thankful for today???

Give it all to God - In the middle of the night....and all the time

You have been there...who hasn't?  You wake up in the middle of the night and can't shut it down.  I go through phases where this is more prominent than others.  Last night I was up and down a lot, this is a big week for my organization, a lot of deadlines and announcements will be released and there are so many "what if's".  As Christians we are told to "Give it all to God" which sounds awesome but how do you really do it?

Last night the thought crossed my mind to roll over and Give it all to God.  I couldn't sleep....because even though I am a strong Christian and I was struggling to give it to God.  I was thinking about some scripture when I came across this picture:

Being fearless is very hard.  Giving it to God is not easy but this morning I woke up with a renewed sense of answers for my organization.  The fears I had in the middle of the night were less and my vision for the future was more clear.  I am not sure it will keep me from waking up in the middle of the night but the fact that I am able to give my fears to Him and reasonably think He will give me strength to solve problems is a moment of peace in the still of the night.

I lead my organization with blind faith.  I am blessed to be governed by a Board of Director's who allow me to display my faith loudly.  I am fortunate, this I know.
