Regroup, Refresh & Relax ~ Norma

In reflecting on my last posting I have been seeking for some spiritual answers to the our response
when all seems to be spinning out of control. I will share with you the what the Holy Spirit has been
showing me. We need more 3 R's in our life and I am not speaking on the old adage,"Readin,
Ritten, and Rithmetic". God spoke these 3 R's into my spirit, REGROUP, REFRESH, and RELAX.

REGROUP -- Get my priorities into proper perspective. Pray before I commit myself to projects. Just because
it is a Good idea does not mean it is a God idea. I do not have to say YES to everything asked of me.
I can be too busy ministering that I may miss the ministers plan for me is. Do not feel guilty if I can not do it all.
When I take on a project that He has not chosen for me I am most likely taking it away from the person He planned to do it.
REFRESH -- Take time out to renew my spirit daily, do not wait until I am in a dry place and then ask ,
"Where Are You God ?" I can not give out what I do not have. Set aside a time for prayer, praise, and study.
Seek out women who are uplifting and know how to come into agreement with me when I have special
needs. Always be available to pray : anytime, anywhere, anyplace. Be prepared for those HOLY GHOST
moments, to help another in their time of need. Always remember, "IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ME !!"
RELAX -- When I am walking in His will and doing what I know He has called me to there will be
peace in my spirit. This does not mean everything will be ,"Coming Up Roses ",
I am still living life which brings brings all kinds of trials and tests, without them I will never GROW
to my fullest potential in HIM. I can relax in Him knowing when I walk through the trials and tests,
Keeping My Eyes on Jesus I will come out the Victor, giving Him the honor and glory.
So, at the present time I am activating these 3 principles into my life.

Regroup and check out my commitments, making sure they are ordained of God.
Refresh myself daily in taking time out to seek His perfect will for me in this season of my life.
Relax in the comfort of knowing I am not out of control, because I am giving my all to Him.
Until next time, LOOK TO JESUS !! He has ALL the answers you need.
