Day 49

Yeah, I am done for the day! I have completed my ten things. It was a little bit of a challenge today but I still made it and that is all that matters.This week will be busy so I need to use all my time wisely. I can do it!! That is what I am going to keep telling myself anyway. I remember when I was an image consultant for Beauti Control Cosmetics many years ago. Their motto was" fake it until you make it" I always thought that was funny .

I started my ten things off with yard work again today. I was clearing more blackberry vines out of my shrubs. It is amazing to me how you can have this long thick vine that wraps around everything and takes over and when you get to the bottom of it there is a little skinny root. As I was pulling the vines out it made me think of sin. That little tiny root gets in( like sin) and if it is not pulled out and discarded ( if we don't repent and surrender it to Jesus) it grows and entangles us and chokes us out and stifles our growth ( spiritually).

I practiced my Spanish and the piano again. I read my books. I am almost done with another one. I worked on algebra again. I still am a little stumped. I did a little organizing and I made a bracelet to go with my earrings I made the other day. I also worked on my unfinished course I was taking. I am listening to lectures I have already heard before to refresh my memory. Refreshing my memory could be a full time job in itself.

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.   JAMES 3: 9-12
