JOURNAL - Saturday 7th February

Well, it's Saturday, the end of another week. The week didn't start too well, but it has ended alright. My husband is away for a few days, I didn't bring any work home, and although the dogs have been driving me `batty' - I was able to sleep in just a little. They really miss their dad!!

I told the kids at Kids Club that I learnt a lesson this week. I don't think they really got the idea, but they thought it was funny. I learnt just how important it is to pray on the `good days as well as the bad'.

I'd had a great day, and was feeling so confident, I decided I would try some new `learning'. Now one thing I am not very good at is reversing. I haven't banged into any cars yet - carparks aren't too bad. It is my own driveway I have trouble with. Anyway, as Mark was away, I thought this was a good chance to practice my reversing into our `carport'. When he got back I could show him how good I was!! Of course, I forgot about the pole at the end of our porch.

Well I learnt three lessons: 1) Don't be a show off. (That's what the kids told me).
2) I don't have to be good at everything.
3) Always PRAY before you try something new!!

Don't we sometimes get so confident in our own abilities, we forget to ask for help from our Lord. Even, what we think are the simple things in life, can turn into a disaster, if we don't seek the Lord.

God had promised me, as I told you last week, "Pray to me. Trust in me' - and he keeps repeating this - when will I ever listen!!

I didn't promise my husband I would do some housework today, but I really do need to get on his `good side'. I have finally had a chance to do some more writing on my `In the Palm of His Hand' sight - see the link!! You'll discover it has taken me many years to learn His lessons, and I'm sure it will take many more!!
