Queenies Little Kingdom

It’s funny how today’s post on (in)courage is titled Push. After I read it, I thought about how many times my friends or family have asked me the hard questions. The one’s that I avoided facing! Like, “When are you going to go back to school?”. Or, “When are you going to write your book?”. And my favorite one….”When am I going to see you on stage, speaking?”. I love all of these questions.

But.

I’m famous for preaching to other’s about putting God in a box. Yet, I do it all the time myself! {Hypocrite} I believe He can do all things though me. I guess I just don’t think I’m worthy of some of those things. Maybe you do that too?! If you do…..my message to you (and to me) today is to push forward and chase after whatever it is that you’re dreaming of!

Don’t give up…

If you’re dreaming of writing a book (like me)…..start pecking on your keyboard in your freetime! If you’re dreaming of quitting your high stress job (like me)….start praying and searching out what it is that God would bless you with. If you’re dreaming of going back to school or changing your career path…..do it! And find a friend that will support you in prayer and encouragement!

I’m claiming today, to stop the fretting over what isn’t in my life and going after what it is that I really want!

Goodluck to you, friends. Don’t live another day unhappy about your circumstances! 🙂

I woke up to that song this morning on Klove. I love it! Have you listened to the lyrics? They’re a good reminder of how fast time flies.

{Like I need to know that…..now that all my babies are grown!!}

Every word…..expresses where I am these days. I don’t want to look back and wonder….what I’ve done with my life.
How about you?

I’m thrilled to have a short week. I could really get used to 3 day weekends and 4 day work weeks. It sounds like I’m living large, just saying it! It’s not been an easy day back at the old grindstone though. Mrs. Mackey (my partner in crime) came into the classroom to find her computer down! Completely down! It wouldn’t let her log in with her username/password for anything. In case you didn’t know….everything we do, we need our computers to do it!

Class attendance
Input grades
Look up missed assignments
Find students
Work & more!!

All of it….on that little thing called a computer! If it’s not connecting….we’re stuck!

By the end of the day, I found a little irony in the lack of access to the computer system and my relationship with Christ. If I’m not plugged in (actively engaged with the Lord)….I’m pretty much powerless! Just like we’ve been in our classroom all day. I don’t know about you….but I need that Jesus connection!

Thanks for the reminder, Lord! I’m putting my focus on you! 😉 I don’t want to be stuck without YOU!!
