This is the third time I have attempted to write this blog. I find that I don't have that much to say. I feel tired, and unmotivated. Perhaps it was staying up till 1 in the morning, or the obstacles in life that tend to trip us up. Like this morning the cat, climbed into the open dryer to pee on my clean clothes, while I carried an armful of them to my room.

This morning I am praying to God for something uplifting. Something to go well. A phone call from a friend or just some unexpected smile or a laugh. Being a teacher in the summer is difficult because I just don't have enough to do.

It's times like that this that faith is really tested. When you don't feel like being faithful. When your tired and you don't want to be obedient. That is why this is the most important time to turn to God's word. I surrender my will to your will, Lord.

Joshua 1:9 NLT
"This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
