Decisions

Daily, I read a spiritual/devotional book by Iyanla Vanzant called "Until Today!" It is quite actually an old book published back in 2000. This book on a daily basis renews me and guides me. I am going to start sharing some the the inspirations from this book in my blogs and how it inspires my family and me.

Decisions fuel the spirit. We all have the power to decide our direction and our life goals. Some days are good days and some are bad days in the Dilly house. Sometimes I let the outside influences of our life affect my morale, my center, my vision. I am a flawed person as we all are. I am aware of my decisions and the way they affect others. Sometimes my immediate decisions to be upset, take in too much, take to much on affect our daily lives. Sometimes I over schedule us, try to do so much and that affects my spirit in turn affected our household spirit. Iyanla states clearly in the book " If you decide to take just a moment, just a moment to get still, to clear your mind, to open your heart, to listen to the sacred voice that guides you, that protects you, that knows you and loves you , you are going to have a good day" Everyday I will try to hear that voice, open my heart, let God guide me, and make my Decisions to have a good day.

As I was thinking of this post at the grocery store today...I thought alot of my grandma walker and how she lived by this. She let her decisions guide her, she let her knowledge of the Lord guide her. She really never let to much bother her and often left it up to the Lord to help her. She would always say if it was meant to be then it will be. Sometimes even though that is not what we would have wanted. Recent decisions, I have made may not have made others happy or been the best for anyone at the time. But they were made and they were right at the time for our family and myself. Sometimes we must understand that having peace with that decision also ensures our good day.

It is still cold here. It is still about 10 inches of snow on the ground and will melt probably sometime this week. Brad goes back to work this week. I am continuing to work. Peyton returns to school this week after a few snow days this last week. He has an imaginary friend now who is hanging out in the ceiling. Also he has been having alot of bad dreams lately about weird things. So we are praying for them to end and go away. So please help us pray for the bad dreams to end.
