I’m trying to get into the habit of blogging every day. (Those who do say the first 1,000 days are the hardest!) To do that, I have to write whether or not I feel inspired. I started today with nothing in mind to write so I’m talking with God, and I’m on the lookout for a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started my day by writing three thank-you notes. The idea was that I would get those written and mail them while I was out for a breakfast appointment. So I wrote the notes upstairs and took them downstairs to put stamps on them in preparation for leaving. Then the notes disappeared! The pen that I had written them with was downstairs on my desk (brought down from upstairs), but no notes. I looked “everywhere.” Finally<\/g> I went to breakfast with no notes to mail.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it hit me, “Without me, you can do nothing.” (John 15.5)<\/em> I can’t even mail a note! I’ve been urging us the past few days to do the next right thing<\/strong>. And that’s good counsel. But it presumes that we’ll do the next right thing in God’s strength and under his guidance<\/em>. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally found the notes about three hours later…mixed in with note cards that I haven’t used yet. When I put those away, I accidentally included the ones I had already written. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I hope I’ve learned something: do the next right thing with God’s help<\/strong> because “Without me, you can do nothing.”<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
