The Journey Continues

 Seems like I have been in transition a long time. How long does it take? I am still struggling with not having an actual place of busines to report to.  Living on our mission campus is like REALLY being on call 24/7.  (No one has ever needed us after dark so I may be exaggerating a little.)  Some  days there have been multiple interruptions. My home used to be separate from my work, not anymore.  But the interruptions are why I am here so that doesn't bother me as much as it used to. 

No my struggle is with not having to punch a clock. You would think after 3 years I would have adjusted. I only worked a secular job 37 years. I just can't seem to find my niitch as a stay at home wife and missionary. I really don't know what to do every day.  And as the new year begins I don't know what I can do to change things. 

Most people would make a new year resolution. I don't make resolutions. I never keep them. And with what I have been sharing I wouldn't even know what resolutions to make. So I read this devotion on You Verion about One Word for the new year. The concept is ask the Lord to give you a word that He wants you to focus on for the up coming year. I read the 4 days worth of devotions and scriptures and prayed as directed. And the word the Lord gave me was discipline. Which I totally get. I was never as disciplined at home as I was on my job.

So I will try to stay focused on discipline in 2014. But not just discipline in general. I will read the Word, listen to what my Lord teaches me and learn what He wants to teach me about discipline in my life. And He already started. Sunday at Port au Prince Fellowship the message was about taking care of today and not worrying about tomorrow; Matthew 6:34. The word discipline was not mentioned but the Lord spoke to me and said discipline happens one day at a time. So this next year the journey continues. One day at a time.
