How often have we been told throughout our lives what seems to beconflicting direction. "Dream BIG!" or "Don't wish your life away." "Reach for theStars!" or "Bloom where you're planted." The truth I've found, is that all is possibleif first we learn to relax. Yes, relax. Relax in He who made you, relax in how Hemade you and relax in why He made you. Now make no mistake, we may notever know exactly the answer to any of these, but it's in the resting and knowingHE KNOWS, where the peace begins. So when we realize that we are NOT incharge of making it happen, but that HE IS, then the pressure begins to lift andour Faith in Him begins to strengthen. Know that this will not happen instantly, butby relaxing in Him day by day, we will experience the change. For embracingTODAY, is where we can begin to enJOY the journey. Trying to do anything inour own strength is self-destructive, resulting in being overwhelmed, frustratedand having a sense that we have missed the mark or failed. Let's begin byrealizing worry accomplishes nothing! It wears us out and results in missingwhat's most important, the precious time, blessings, gifts and talents our Fatherhas given us TODAY! So Let Go and Let God, for it's when we begin to relax inHis Love and embrace everyday uniquely, that we begin to Live the JOY Life!

"We need more light. Is there a lamp that would look better here,or one we're not using?"What do we have? What can we do? "What am I going to do with the chair and furniture marks on the wall?I really don't want to repaint the entire room."What do we have? What can we do?"We need garland over the mantle that's not faux but will last for awhile"What do we have? What can we do? My strength is not in designing or creating without a startingpoint. But give me a shoebox full of stuff, or show me what we're workingwith and watch me go. I believe most people can create and put thingstogether if they first know what they have to work with, and know whatthey Love. Often we acquire much of what others have Loved and thenwonder why nothing in our home seems to click or sings to our soul.Start first, by looking around and see what you've got in the closets theattic, EVERYWHERE. If you know you're not ever going to use it, GETRID OF IT! If you're using something you really don't like, get rid of it too!Working with only the things you have AND Love is where you want tobe! Now, pull those things together and decorate creating Joyful andpleasing vignettes. You'll find this isn't difficult now that you're workingwith the things you Love. These areas in your home now not only servethe purpose needed, but LIFT YOU UP! Next, take note of the voids. Doyou still need a lamp? An ottoman to put your feet up? A small table nextto your reading chair for your books and a cup of Tea? List them all.Now, You're ready to shop! You have a clear mind as to what you still need as well as a keen eye for what you Love. Take this new andvaluable knowledge and hit the stores. Those helping you in yourselection process will find this information helpful as well!
