Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

And to those visiting for the first time I say welcome! I post every Wednesday and my purpose is to bless and encourage you along your way.

I can't believe it is spring time once again!

I remember last spring like it was yesterday. I was coming off of an intense speaking season which included international travel. I was exhuasted and in deep need of a vacation. I was facing a busy summer getting the house ready for my son's graduation open house along with writing my next book.

I wanted to cry, I was so tired. I just wanted to curl up with a good novel and rest for a month or two, or three. There didn't seem to be enough hours in the day to fill my cup back up.

I dragged myself through my tasks lists while repeatedly uttering, "I need a vacation."

Apparently I had said it one too many times because I was stopped in my tracks by the voice of the Lord and He strongly corrected me. He said, "You will stop saying, 'I need a vacation.' I chart the course ahead of you and I tell you where to stop and rest (Psalm 139:3)!"

I stood corrected and humbled.
