work
at the top of these steps I have climbed I will now plateau for a while... and work
work at all the things I have learned in these three steps
work at always giving more of myself... and then... work some more work at giving silence
work at giving me rest
work at doing more... working more
always wanting to please Him and those around me, it is me who suffers in this process sometimes because I am the one who is anxious and worried about things — not them — it is me who puts these obstacles before me to perform this work complete and well done it is me who has the problem — not those around me -
this takes work too
so many of us (women in particular) are needy we need praise... encouragement... attention... commitment...
some of us women want others to be more like them some of us women don't work at meeting half way in a friendship or even sisterhood some of us women don't work at bettering themselves by giving of themselves towards others some of us women work to please ourselves and forget about others' needs and wants
working things out between two people takes work on both ends
don't expect one person to do all the work... they will eventually get so tired they quit
- work at giving silence when silence is due
- being a listening ear and shoulder to lean on
- work at giving yourself rest
- in alone and peaceful prayer time to meditate and become closer to the Creator
- work at doing more
- for others by giving of yourself through working for others and not yourself
helping others become the best person they can be
helping others by showing others how hard you are at working at this
notice the good in others only in these last few days in Lent
fast and pray to become the best person you can be
xo+ heartfelt blessings,
and yes, our little Daniel is now 1
