When in trouble or in doubt. Don't run in circles and scream and shout. Go talk to God and work it out. 

Song Of A Little Lamb

Good Shepherd come and lead me.

Great Shepherd how I need Thee.

I don't know what to say I don't know what to do.

I want to go the right way I want to obey You.

Help me hear Your voice above the din.

Help me make the right choice keep me far from sin.

Help my eyes to stay on You that I may may not stray.

Hold me close to Your side and guide me as I pray.

Good Shepherd come and lead me.

Great Shepherd how I need Thee.

Cast out of me all doubt and fears.

Hold on to me and dry my tears.

Come Beloved Shepherd I pray O come every day.

Stay with me Most Holy Shepherd and lead me all the way. Amen

Home Work

Even as a house wife I feel like I have home work. I study nutrition, cleaning skills and techniques, organizational skills, books and magazines on home decoration and arts and crafts, books on health, gardening, and more! I don't have any final exams to study for, but I study as if I do. Every day is sort of a pop quiz. In my Christian walk I am a student too. I study the bible and unlike with house wife studies I have teachers. My teachers are God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, my husband, pastor, and some special people God sends my way. Everyday I have pop quizzes. Lately more than usual. I am going through a time where the people around me are making me seek clearer answers as to what is right and wrong and am I obeying God. I see things and hear things that don't seem right. I don't want to judge, but because it involves me I want to do what is right. It is almost like God is saying, "So you think you know right and wrong well here is a pop quiz." "Now will you do as all your Christian brothers and sisters on the left are doing or will you do as the ones on the right? Or will you try to stay in the middle?" "Or will you follow your husband blindly." "Well will you stand firm or waver?" "Be lukewarm or on fire to obey Me?"  I know what I must do I must choose God and His way first. I must trust Him with the people around me. I must seek Him as to what I should do or say to them. I must hang on to Him and pray my way through all this listening constantly for the Holy Spirit's guidance. I must study God's word about what I see and hear. I must stand firm in Him and His word; no matter how people react. I need to do my home work. My mind, flesh, and people have a way of twisting words and deeds to the point of making me confused and unsure about what is the right things to say and do. I need to Study God's word, Pray, Listen carefully and prayerfully to the Holy Spirit, and obey God. I need to be more like Jesus. I have been doing this all along but some how this is more like graduating from elementary school to junior high. It's deeper and takes more focus and thought. It means I must draw closer to God, Jesus, the Holy spirit and study and pray more than ever before! I know God is working all this out in my life and in me for my good.

He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, this is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. (Paraphrase you will get rid of your idols or those you look to when you should be looking to God.). Isaiah 30:part of 19-22, Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Thimothy 2:15
