I am sorry that I have not posted in over a week. I had no electricity from Saturday night to Monday night, but it seemed like a long time. I really appreciate the small things now. I try to read my Parenting by Design Devotional at www.youversion.com every day. I need some help with this thing called parenting.
Monday was my first day back to work as a school bus driver and we were still without power. I did not sleep well and woke up too early, but I decided I should just get my day started. I read my parenting devotional on my smartphone. The title of Monday's devotional was Plugging In To Power. LOL! I needed power right then...spiritual and otherwise.
My phone and laptop can last as long as they are plugged into an outlet. After losing power on Saturday, I could see my phone and laptop telling me to plug into a power source.
I was reminded I need God's power so I can do God's will for my life. If I depend on my strength then I will run out of steam. If I depend on my "genius" and strength to raise my children then I will run out of ideas and energy. I have to stay plugged in to Jesus through prayer and Bible study. I need God's wisdom to do everything especially parenting!
