Time To Take Action!

For today's devotional, I read out of my Daily Dose of Determination, and the daily dose was Time to Take Action! Which I feel is pretty fitting to how I am feeling and the fact that I've decided to blog everyday (if possible) as a way of getting closer to God, and get better at praying. It asks what kind of action have I taken today towards fulfilling my dreams? I feel like I am taking action, I am doing something that will not only help me fulfill my dreams, but will also help me to become a better person. Let me explain... I have set myself a goal, of reading a daily devotional, and blogging about it, as a way to help me put into action what I've read. Today is day 2, so far so good. I feel like I'm slowly, (but surely) finding my way back. I also am continuing my education. I am still enrolled in school, even though I am back at work full time. People have asked, are you still in school? Did you quit school? Some are surprised when I say no. I'm not going to quit school because I'm working. I'm working to help support my family, and I'm going to school, to be able to, not just get a better job, but to be a good example for my children. I think that reason, above all the other reasons I could find for staying in school, is the biggest reason. I  have not always made the best decisions, and my children have witnessed that, so I have decided to make an effort stick to the goals I have set, and follow through on things. Something that I've not been so good at in the past. So with that being said, I am sticking to the daily devotional blogging, and of course my schooling. 
The verse with my devotional for today was James 2:20 Faith without works is dead.  I feel like I am doing the work, and growing my faith... 


On a side note: I'm also reading The Power of a Praying Life by Stormie Omartian. I love her books, I have read her book The Power of a Praying Parent, and I loved it, it helped me with praying for my children and myself to be a good parent. I'm excited to take the journey of becoming a powerful praying person, and look forward to reaping the rewards of my works!


God Bless!
