I feel inspired!

As I move in behind my computer screen this morning, I am feeling inspired!

Last night I could not sleep, I had a sudden burst of energy that kept me awake until well after 1 o'clock in the morning. Have you ever had that feeling of high emotion, rosy sunglasses and overall optimism? I know it does not last always, but some days you feel it and and you do not want to shake it off! It is on those days that I have to make the most of it. Get a pen and paper and write down all the wonderful ideas and dreams that come streaming into my thoughts. If I have something concrete to go back to after the high emotion subsides, I can look at it realistically and form a plan of action. All these inspirational ideas then seem simple and clear cut, and I can get the ball rolling.

Where does my inspiration come from? I only need to look to my right and see my two small daughters painting each other's toenails. When I walk down stairs and trip over a rugby ball and a few tennis balls, my heart is drawn to my seven year old son who is at school at the moment. My family, my life, my faith.  I have much to be thankful for.

When I was younger I firmly knew I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. Somewhere though, life threw me a few blows and I realised that one does not have quite the control over things that you might like to have. Now I know, that where ever life is taking me, I can find purpose therein and I can make the most of where I am. I believe that God has a plan for me, and that it is better than what I may have planned for myself. And even if I make mistakes along the way, He will make it work out to the best for me, if I only trust in Him.

So, here is a new day and new inspiration.

Proverbs 16:3 - "Roll your works upon the Lord (commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thought to become agreeable to His will, and) so shall your plans be established and succeed."

Love much!
