When did it Happen?

Where along the way to we lose our smile?
Do we forget what happiness is? 
Where do we lose the joy in our family and friends?
We forget how to laugh with our children.  Why? 
Do the stresses, running, financial burdens, and technology all make our lives too busy?
We spend our days doing busy work -- does any of it really further or better our lives? 
Does Facebook really bring me anything? 
Do games make my heart happy? 
NO.

My business is the business of people, meeting and letting my light shine.
My business is God's business. 
I need to see the flowers, before the weeds. 

What is success if we don't know how to enjoy it or recognize it?  The success of my business is not how many people I recruit but the freedom of time to spend with the people I love while still being able to contribute to our family.
If my "business" consumes all my time and thoughts then what do I have? 
While my struggle has been tough some days, I wouldn't trade it for someone else's story. 
I'm proud of the way God is shaping me, changing me, encouraging me. 
I love being molded for His desires.

Thank you Lord, for a new day.  A fresh Start. 
I believe that together we can write a new script for my life.   A life less dependent on things, and more dependent on you. 
A life filled with humor, patience and self control. 
A life of abundant blessing.
Not just financially, but spiritually and mentally.
A life full of LOVE.  SO. MUCH. LOVE.
Where my children are free to be children and not scared of their parents reactions. 
Where they know how much they are loved and needed and loved some more. 
Help me to be free of the chains that rush me, stress me and scare me. 
I am Chosen.  Never separated from the love of Christ, and freed from sin.
All of the worldly stresses fade when He is the only one I try to please. 
Am I acting, doing, talking, like He would want me to? 
Am I offering forgiveness and grace as He offers ME? 
He will take care of and conquer all the earthly problems if I simply lean closer.
I can go confidently in this dream because He goes first.  I am spirit-led.
Forgive my desires for earthly riches and successes.  I want so much to bless others and be freed from my earthly debts that I forget to live as pleases the Lord. 
Help me to see the positives in life... rather than the negatives. 
I am Blessed.
God's favor has been poured on me and together we can move mountains. 
Thank you Lord.
