A few years ago He showed me my yes needs to be filtered through my ministry which is being a wife and a mom. So that has been a great filter for me. When good opportunities have come this year to expand my ministry in leading other women I had to go to Him and my husband. So my yes as yours are not all I desire them to be but there is freedom in them when I go before Him and filter them through my main ministries.

The trick is fighting my flesh throughout the day to obey Him.

God has been telling me to simply say YES to Him. This is actually the third message I got since last night.

I'm so proud of you staying focus...Dear Debbie,<br />I'm so proud of you staying focused and have the perseverance to fulfill your assignment with God.<br />It cannot be easy, being a full time childern's teacher. I know how they being so energetic and full of questions and multitasking all day crave your entire attention while you are at work. Then working out. You are lucky to have Greg making you dinner. I think walking into your writing solitude with God must be a giant challenge. If 70 % is done, I'm sure you'll finish the race and then have some yes-to-Debbie- time again.<br />Even Jesus had to rest. It's actually mentioned several times.<br />I find FB time a time stealer and not much rewarding, and try to limit it too. Then again I'm with a closed prayer group there and that is so rewarding.Just knowing that there'll always be someone there when I need support, and be able to give the same back.<br />That is a blessing.<br />Thanks for always speak so nice and gentle to me. I so appreciate that.<br />I have you and Greg included in my prayers too.<br />Your Felisol<br /><br />Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-71530500971105470712013-01-31T12:35:47.316-07:002013-01-31T12:35:47.316-07:00Your steps for discipline in staying focused are g...Your steps for discipline in staying focused are great.

I'd love to hear all about it! I feel God nudging me to get started too, but I just keep making excuses! I will be sure to ask you questions how to publish an ebook. ;o)<br /><br />Much love!<br />BethBeth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-52857063964862096642013-01-31T07:14:03.410-07:002013-01-31T07:14:03.410-07:00Good morning!

This season in my life IS very definite, and I know it is right where God wants me. And yet I struggle so to do all the things I WANT to do. I am sure I would be soo much happier if I did instead (with a happy heart) just what He wants for me for now.

We have to be wise to discern the season and trust God with our no's as well as our yes's. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and personal decisions with us on this!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-60173936580612724762013-01-31T07:02:01.243-07:002013-01-31T07:02:01.243-07:00This past Christmas, I felt led to pour myself int...This past Christmas, I felt led to pour myself into my kids' spiritual life and personal development at a much higher level. My kids are 11 and 12 (almost 12 and 13) so at that critical age. I am watching a video series (Family-id), reading a great book by Dr. Tim Elmore "Nurturing the Leader Within Your Child," talking and praying with them a LOT, and having more intense Bible studies with them. God revealed that I was too wrapped-up in my own Spiritual life and was sideling theirs. Now we are growing closer to God together as a family. I have this awesome window of opportunity with them right now so need to do my best to teach them and be a good example. That means saying NO to my old evening routines (cleaning the house, running, etc.). I moved my stuff to other times so that I can focus on them in the evenings/weekends. I only have them half the time (shared parenting) so have to make every second count. Thank the Lord for revealing my BEST YES for this season of my life! I love this season too! xo pbjennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16824870779411050487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-29237727684082403032013-01-31T06:53:35.466-07:002013-01-31T06:53:35.466-07:00Correction: reading....time....

That in return made me go into a reflective mood as you challenged us...to listen and know what God is calling for us to do. I'm happy for you that you are continuing to follow your writing as He tells you so. We know that if the inspiration comes.from Him, many will be blessed. Many will hear about Him.<br /><br />As I was demoted from work and have all this time on my hands, it is a good tine for me to also say'Yes, Lord, wherever you want me to go...whatever you want me to do...'<br /><br />And I'm grateful for sisters like you who help in giving that little "push" we need when otherwise I am also making excuses and trying to avoid His calling...<br /><br />May the Lord continue to guide you, protect you and give you His discernment...Keep writing sister...and like how the Spirit was ther for Moses, so is He with those who love Him...Amen to your " yes!"rcubesnoreply@blogger.com
