Good morning Friends,

Those who know me, know it is no surprise that I have moments of feeling rather...well, antsy. I'm often shaking my leg or tapping my hand or doing some sort of "busy" thing while I sit. I have a hard time sitting still...maybe that's why I juggle a hubby, kids, and two full-time jobs. Well, I guess writing isn't my "full-time" job, but when I'm in the middle of a story, I am thinking about those characters FULL time.

My constant need for activity is only one of the many reasons I must stay very close to my Jesus. I love to be busy, but I don't want to be so busy that I miss all the many joys and struggles that God allows along the way. After all, the goal of my life is to end well, but you know, to end well, I have to journey well. It's the journey!

One of the ways God spoke to me today was through a Scripture in Proverbs (remember, I started Proverbs today). It's not about sitting still, but it does go along with the notion. God says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23

Maybe the Scripture does have to do with my antsiness after all...if my heart is focused on all the things I want to accomplish and on my go, go, go attitude, then I haven't guarded my heart at all.

Oh, precious Jesus, may my heart be pure and focused on You. It is the wellspring of my life. It is your dwelling place.
