As I read through the preface of Sean’s 3rd edition in the proverbs 12x devotional. I think about the students that God has blessed me with to teach and the importance of wisdom that they need as well as I do. As I begin reading I pray and ask God to help me retain and understand what I am reading so that I can gain more of his wisdom for all areas of my life.

The provoking question today is :” where are you delaying diligent effort because the conditions seem unfavorable?” What harvest are you risking? As soon as I read that I think of branching out into commercial hvac consulting. I can tell you busy with important things but how does that help me. Is what I am doing today giving me and my family the best ROÍ? I always will have things to do but I need to take a step of faith and ask God to help me with the time and abilities to do it.

Monday I came to a realization that made me think. I had some neck and shoulder tightness the previous week but until Monday morning I did not realize why. I had thought I slept wrong or maybe pulled something working in the garden or the shop. But on the way to work thinking of all the things I need to do , the tightness came back. That’s when I realized I need to give all this to God more. I was once again relying on my own abilities and not truly giving it to God. My new role teaching has got me doing more thinking than ever in my life. I have to keep the kids engaged or things go off the rails. So I move forward, asking our Father in heaven to guide me and help me as I build this new calling and honor you. Along the way I ask for peace and to let go trusting that You Father God will guide me well not rely solely on myself
