I&#8217;m just checking in to say hello and to encourage you to&#8230; Press on. <img src='http://thewelcomehome.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> )<o :p></o></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
The weather&#8217;s changed just a bit and the day doesn&#8217;t seem as bright out &#8212; and so I got to thinking about you and am just praying that you&#8217;re doing well &#8212; that you&#8217;re not discouraged with the load you are carrying in this season.<o :p></o>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o :p> </o></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So, as I send this, I am praying that you will just be encouraged and just do *one* thing today that you&#8217;ve been meaning to get to.<span>  </span>Just *one* thing that&#8217;s been pressing or blocking some other things from getting done.<span>  </span>I&#8217;m doing this today &#8212; I have some ironing that *needs!* to be done and so I am just going to do it right now after writing to you.<span>  </span>I think we all have things that are blocking other things from getting done and then we listen to the devil tell us we&#8217;re not doing *anything* right.<span>  </span>So, I pray you&#8217;ll just smile through this day doing just one more thing&#8230; <o :p></o></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o :p> </o></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I have found over the years that I suddenly get bored with my doings and then I fall into the trap of feeling overwhelmed and then think I can&#8217;t do anything.<span>  </span>It&#8217;s the enemy attempting to thwart my motherhood journey.<span>  </span>It&#8217;s a battle &#8212; more of a battle for some than for others &#8212; but it&#8217;s a battle, nonetheless.<o :p></o></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
The LORD has given me such a love for you and I don&#8217;t even know you so well yet.<span>  </span>I pray today&#8217;s a real blessing to and for you.<span></p>
<p></span>With love, pamel<span class="file-link image"></span><span class="file-link image"></span>a<o :p></o></p>
