Do you ever have one of those days?



Some how I wish I was in this picture,
called Peaceful Winter Evening


I am having one of those days, actually it is getting close to a week...it just seems that I have so many things on my mind.  Here's a summary...

     1. When will it snow?
          2. What is happening with my friend Virginia?
     3. How is the family doing that recently lost a baby?
          4. Should I go to the funeral?
     5. Will Tim get a Christmas surprise this year?
          6. Is my youngest son upset about anything?
     7. How can I help with a pregnant daughter, who has morning sickness,    
         a lot?
          8. How and what should I do for my youngest daughter?
     9.  Am I being a good wife?
          10. What will the new year bring, as far as taxes?
     11. What should I write about tomorrow?
          
Can you tell I have a lot on this little pea brain of mine?  And most of these things I struggle with just because I haven't any answers to these questions.

What I have done in the past is to turn everything over to God.  Why I didn't consider this before now (I mean this week)....I just realized what Jesus did.  Hah, caught you, and Thank you Jesus.  Jesus just said to me, "Kirsten, I want you to tell the people that they can turn it all over to me, anytime, anywhere, just turn your problems, cares, concerns over to Me."  You know it says in the Bible that Jesus died for our sins, well He didn't just die for our sins, He died for us!  He was our sacrifice that we couldn't come up with.  My husband Tim has been working on me as for this particular learning that I need. When we ask for something to be done, we don't continue to ask that this same thing be done we generally expect that it will be done, so why do we pray to God, over and over and over again concerning the same thing, He hears us the first time, and we should then just go about our business and expect an answer, it may not be the answer we want but we will get an answer.

When I turn my cares and concerns over to the Lord, they are no longer anything that I need to be concerned with, once you have given something over to God, you are done with it.  It is finished as far as you are concerned.

Okay we are finished with this subject, now I want to ask you all, do you know what an opinion is?  According to Merriam, let's see, she says:

Definition of OPINION

1a : a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter

  b : approval, esteem

2a : belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

  b : a generally held view

3a : a formal expression of judgment or advice by an expert

  b : the formal expression (as by a judge, court, or referee) of the legal reasons and principles upon which   a legal decision is based.

 

Now I would like to see where wisdom is:

Definition of WISDOM

1a : accumulated philosophic or scientific learning : knowledge

  b : ability to discern inner qualities and relationships : insight

  c : good sense : judgment

  d : generally accepted belief <challenges what has become accepted wisdom among many historians —  Robert Darnton>

2 : a wise attitude, belief, or course of action

3 : the teachings of the ancient wise men

 

I had always thought that wisdom comes with age, perhaps it doesn't, God I pray for wisdom.  And God said, "But you know having wisdom doesn't generally make things any easier.  You will still have difficulty with people hearing what it is that you say.  People , not all, but some people have stopped up ears, and they will not hear you until they clean out there ears!"

 

Okay, so God I will ask you for patience, "Ah that is a good thing to ask for Kirsten, patience is always a good thing." And God continues, "I know everyday that you suggest that people go and be a blessing, and that is a very good thing to do, who are you going to bless today?"
