IOD:

To walk in Heaven's eternal light...

I've been working since 8am this morning on a project that is already overdue and that I NEED to finish today. After a lot of good progress my software (photoshop) crashed and I lost all my work. It was my own dumb fault for not stopping to save, but I was on such a roll I forgot. I wanted to scream. Cry anything to rid myself of my intense frustration. Instead I called my sister for a sympathetic ear and hopefully some software advice. Instead she was the voice of Christ to me which is what I needed more than anything. "Slow down, take a deep breath and remember it's how you respond that can determine wether you go further down this road of anger or not. " I'm paraphrasing, but that was the jist. sigh. I wanted to yell at her and a year ago I would have. Praise God for growth. I stopped and listened.

Before beginning work again I decided to start off with a quiet moment with the Lord. I don't have my devotional, so instead I googled it ( gotta love technology) and read this excerpt:

I would arise in all Thy strength
My place on earth to fill,
To work out all my time of war
With love's unflinching will.
Firm against every doubt of Thee
For all my future way-
to walk in Heaven's eternal light
throughout the changing day.
ANNA L. WARING

and this scripture:

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. PSALM 73:2

So time for me to begin again. I asked the Lord to please multiply my remaining time as only he is able. If he doesn't, well I still trust in him for what results. That's the point right? "throughout the changing day I'll walk in heaven's eternal light" good, bad or otherwise :-)

Have a great changing day!
