Good Morning Girlz!!! Hope everyone has a fun weekend planned!
S - Drink water from your own cistern And fresh water from your own well.
O - The entire chapter of Proverbs 5 basically is saying don't go looking for trouble. Stay where you are and don't go getting mixed up in things you shouldn't.
A - This reminds me a lot of my verse from yesterday...keeping your focus forward. I need this today. I had a situation come up yesterday that got my spirit all out of sorts. I had to stop and remind myself, "Is any of this known, true fact? Don't go barrowing worry when you don't even know it to be true. Face forward. Keep walking on."
P - Lord my desire is to walk in a way that honors You. I don't want to go and get mixed up with things and people that aren't also walking in Your light. Help me stand strong.

Ginny - Proverbs 4
Good Afternoon Girlz!!!
S - Do not turn to the right nor to the left 4:27
O - Face forward. Keep going straight ahead. Don't get mixed up in all the fluff. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
A - There were lots of good verses in today's chapter, but this is one I often quote to myself. Don't turn to the right or left. Keep facing forward. How easy it is to get distracted by all the other stuff? It's enticing. Tempting. Persuasive. That's when I have to stop and tell myself, "keep facing forward." Stay on the straight and narrow.
P - Lord I pray for strength to keep going straight. How tempting it is to get distracted by other things. Help me keep my eyes on what is right and not get caught up in all the distractions.

Ginny - Proverbs 2 & 3
S - For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, Proverbs 2:6-7
How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding. Proverbs 3:13
O - Wisdom, knowledge, understanding...it all comes from the Lord. If I want these things, I must know my Lord and knowing Him takes being in His Word, talking to Him, listening to Him & seeking Him.
A - Just within the last couple of days the Lord has pressed upon my heart the need to return to the basics. The basics of what is right and wrong. For instance how I will let myself tell a white lie, but a white lie is still a lie and it is still wrong. I want my actions to be honorable. I don't want to do what is easy or a shortcut I want to do and stand up for what is right. I've seen a lot of examples in my life lately of people that are doing what is right no matter if it is popular or not, and I want to be like them. I want to walk in integrity (2:7).
P - Lord I ask for knowledge and understanding. May I see things the way You see things. May I do what is right in Your eyes. Help me to be a witness of honor and integrity to those around me.
I have a couple of other prayers requests today. While I was writing this entry I got an email from my mom that my Aunt Lynn (the one in Tulsa that has the cancer) has lost 12 pounds and they are in the hospital in Tulsa. My cousin, Stacie, flew in from Houston this morning. Please pray for all of them and that the antibiotics they are hoping her body takes, work.
Next, I ask that you pray for my friend Natalie. She was one of my Weight Watcher members. She is a doll! She's mid-twenties and is 4'2" and her last name is "Short." Is that not great! Anyhow, she is cute as a bug with a definite wild streak. Seriously, the girl really is "too cool" to hang out with me, but I love her and we have the best time. I have been praying for Natalie's salvation for a couple of months now. We get together for lunch about twice a month and today at lunch the Lord opened some doors of conversation that allowed us to talk about some "Christian" things. The Lord has put a lot of good Christians in Natalie's path lately, and she even told me about a book she is reading by this "Beth Moore lady, ever heard of her?" Ha! Love it! So, my prayer is....grow seeds grow! There is so much planting going on in her life right now. I know Natalie and I wouldn't have kept in touch after I quit Weight Watchers had the Lord not had bigger plans. He is in this and I want to be a help and friend to Natalie.
Thank y'all for praying! Love you gals!

Ginny - Proverbs 1
S - For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them. “But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
O - God wants to protect us. He has given His Word and His Spirit to direct us. When we stick with Him and seek to do what is right, He protects us from evil.
A - You know it's easy to make the wrong decision, and it's not easy to make the right decision. It doesn't take much for me to get off track. Not that life is a game of 3 strikes you're out, but it certainly is easy to miss the pitch. I love the words "live securely." Security means no matter the pitch...fast, curve, change up, slow...and no matter my swing...strike, homeroom, foul...my security is found in Him. I don't have to worry about it. I know my Father will protect me. How many times have I listened to the world and gotten nervous, or compromised my convictions, or mixed up my priorities. I'd rather live securely and that takes LISTENING to Him. He will help me through, no matter the pitch.
P - Lord help me to stop and listen to You. May I find my security in You and not in the ways of the world. May my confidence come from You.
