Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least
minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible,
not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of Your Life.
"If you cannot change the people around you, CHANGE the people you are around."
Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.
We should not share our dreams with negative people, Nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts.
It's your choice and your life..... It's up to you who and what you let in it......

God-Inspired Delays
TGIF Today God Is First, by Os Hillman
01-09-2008
Yet when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was two more days. - John 11:6
Delays in our life are not always easy to handle or to reconcile in our minds. Often, when God does not answer our prayers in the time that we feel He should, we appoint all sorts of characteristics to God's nature that imply He does not care. Such was the case with Lazarus' sisters when Lazarus became ill and died. Jesus was a close friend to Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha. (Mary, you may recall, was the woman who came and poured perfume on Jesus' feet.) When Jesus arrived two days later, Martha shamed Him by saying, "If You had come he would not have died." She implied that He didn't care enough to come when sent for. It was a matter of priorities for Jesus, not lack of love.
God often has to delay His work in us in order to accomplish something for His purposes that can be achieved only in the delay. Jesus had to let Lazarus die in order for the miracle that was about to take place to have its full effect. If Jesus had simply healed a sick man, the impact of the miracle would not have been as newsworthy as resurrecting a man who had been dead for four days. This is Jesus' greatest "public relations act" of His whole ministry. What many do not realize is that the key to the whole story is in the next chapter.
Many people, because they had heard that He had given this miraculous sign, went out to meet Him. So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!" (John 12:18-19)
If Jesus had not raised Lazarus from the dead, there would have been no crowds to cheer the Lord when He came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey.
God often sets the stage so that His glory is revealed through the events that He orchestrates. He did this with Moses and Pharaoh, allowing delay after delay for release of the Israelites from Egypt. He did this with Abraham and Sarah for the promised child, Isaac. God granted Sarah a baby past the age of childbearing in order to demonstrate His power.
God did this in my own life. He delayed the fulfillment of what I believed He called me to do for several years. But the delays provided the necessary preparation and greater glory that God was to receive. My friend, don't take the delays lightly. Do not faint as God places you in what seems to be a holding pattern. God is at work. God knows the purposes for His delays. Don't give up, for they are for His greater glory; so we need to remain faithful.

So, after talking to an old friend, I realized that my marriage was far too wonderful and spontaneous to spoil it by focusing ALL my energy on getting pregnant. I love the free time that we have together, and our "sexual freedom," and being able to come and go as we please. I had the best birthday ever this year. Without going into any details, I'll just say that it was one of the most romantic dates I've ever had, and I would not have been able to have that wonderful date if I had a baby. I like having it be just the two of us. My marriage is perfectly fine without a baby. And if God decides he wants to bless us with a little one, that's fine too. But God knows what He's doing and He knows what's best for us. God's timing is perfect and I thank Him for handling His business His way and not my way!

 I broke my husband down.  Or I'm just spoiled.  After 2 years of being so overwhelmed with the desire to have a baby, he's actually making it possible for me to become pregnant. My husband really embarassed me yesterday during his sermon. Well, I wasn't as embarassed as I was completely shocked. He told everyone that eventually we were gonna have a baby.  THEN, he said, "as a matter of fact, we were just working on it last night." I was completely floored!  The whole congregation turned around and looked at me giggling and what not.  I should be used to it, right? At this point, nothing he says in the pulpit should surprise me anymore.  Hopefully this brand new year will make me a new mommy finally.  I'm so anxious.  But in the meantime, I'll sure have fun trying, lol!!
