Acknowledge Him

We often lose our patience, say things we shouldn't, get jealous of others, show insecurities, show anger, or let laziness get in the way. Stop thinking about your wrong actions and accept the Lords favor, grace and love, no matter what you've done. Move on! 

When we follow in the Lords path and receive his grace our paths become straight, our knees are strengthened and our wounds are healed!

I am guilty of losing my patience, saying things I shouldn't, being jealous of others, being insecure, showing anger and being lazy...I think we all are.
Here lately I have really been working on what I say or even how I say things. I want to be more of an encourager. I have been praying that God will give me a content heart, that I would be happy with what I have and not WANT everything I see or THINK I NEED a certain item. Insecure? The only thing I'm really insecure about is my tummy, let's just say it is not bikini ready like it used to be, no more 6 pack..that's when laziness comes into play haha! I have been working on not wasting any minute. If I find myself being lazy while i'm sitting at home and there are things to be done I get everything done that needs to be done then relax! My house has been straightened up, to my standards, for two weeks now and I LOVE IT! If we glorify God in everything we do he will shine through us and make our paths straight. We should depend on God, he's always there! Thank him during good times and ask for his help through the not so good times. 
I think my biggest challenge is nagging my husband. I have greatly improved on this lately. I have prayed about it a lot and if I think i'm nagging him I say a prayer to myself "God will you please help me out here? I don't want to ask him again!" I either change my attitude and do it myself or all of sudden have a little more patience with Jeremy and wait for him to do what I was asking! 

Just remember....

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
-Proverbs 3:6
