Slow Down

One of the hardest lesson I have had to learn in my life is that you can not and will not ever please everyone. Today as my two youngest sons and I traveled down I-75 south, I turned off the radio and had a long conversation with my boys. I expressed to them how easy it is to sometimes put your dreams and goals on hold to help everyone around you reach their dreams and goals. I went on to tell them that my expectations for them is to be so much better than me, I told them to take time to love themselves and to always have a relationship with God. I basically said,"If you give God your life and let him lead he will take care of you." As I approached the exit, I turned around and both my boys were asleep, I realize that it had gotten quiet some miles earlier. I also realize that the conversation that I was having with two boys ages 9 and 6 had nothing to do with them at all. God allowed peace to enter into my car and gave the time I needed to hear the message that was meant for me. God used this time to reinforce in me one thing, the problems of this world, the when will I's, the how am I's, are all his burdens to bare. He wants me to reaffirm my relationship with him each day and not be consumed by the cares of the world. You see, I sometimes get caught up in my daily life and some problems in my life or issues in my life I will pray about and then let go and unknowingly take them back from God. As I spoke to my boys for giving them all of this information. God was dealing me all along. I am so thankful that God is my Father and He is with my every step of the way. "Please be patient with me, God is not through with me Yet." Be blessed!
