• “If my attitude be one of fear, not faith, about one who has disappointed me; if I say, ‘Just what I expected,’ if a fall occurs, then I know nothing of Calvary love.” – Amy Carmichael

The Schedule by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 04/26/11

 

“5:00 a.m.—go to the gym. 6:00 a.m.—get the kids ready for school.

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: As women, we fall for this idea that we can “do it all.”

“11:00—I’ve got to write the Jorgensen report. Then by noon I’ve got to run those cupcakes over to the school.“

Nancy: Women who think they’re supposed to juggle every task that comes along usually end up frazzled and frustrated.

“Um, 5:00—I’ve got to cook something at least a little healthy for dinner. And then 5:27 I’ve got to take Sarah over to her piano lessons.”

Nancy: But when we understand what God wants us to do and ask for His help, it leads to freedom and joy.

“6:30—I’ve got that school fundraiser meeting and the . . . that means I’m not going to make it to the grocery store until after 7:30. Boy, a lot to do today.”

Nancy: What motivates your activities? Are you trying to make a good impression? Is it just that you can’t say “no”? Why don’t you ask God what’s on His agenda for this season of your life?

“Then finally, 1:00 a.m. Go to bed.”

  • “If we do anything to further the kingdom of God, we may expect to find what Christ found on that road – abuse, indifference, injustice, misunderstanding, trouble of some kind. Take it. Why not? To that you were called. If we think of the glorious fact that we are on the same path with Jesus, we might see a rainbow.” – Elisabeth Elliot
