It's Fab Friday Y'all!

I woke up exceptionally early this morning considering the lateness I went to bed. Yes, I know, must do better with that. Since I was up, I was tinkering with my phone; my goal was to back it up and then reset it to factory settings. For some reason ActiveSync, what I  use to back up my phone, did not want to work. So I was like whatever, I'll just restore it to the default settings without backing it up. That meant that some numbers would have been lost, all pictures and videos but I honestly did not care. I just wanted my phone acting the way it should. So when I told it to "clear all data," guess what? It asked me for a password that my phone does not have! At this point I was getting aggravated, so I shut down my computer (using that to backup my phone so I thought) and went back to sleep.

A few minutes ago I woke back up and something came to mind. Instead of putting it all the way back to its factory condition, delete the storage. I did that and now my phone is working like a charm. Moral of the story? I was focusing so much lately on what I need to change, what I need to do differently, what I must quit and must give up that I was not focusing on the Lord. All He wanted me to realize is that He's madly in love with my personality, my charisma, my style because He gave me those things. He did not (and does not) want me to be rid of the experiences, the life lessons learned, even the memories but He did (and does) want my storage to be empty. Release my way of doing things along with the baggage of the world--shame, pain, disappointments, etc.

How about THAT good news for a Fab Friday!

Lord, 


Thank You for the small things that are often overlooked that can teach invaluable lessons in my life. Help me to notice these things everyday, not just once in a while, as I continue to yield my entire self to You. I thank You for the beautiful weekend and that this day will bring You honor and glory as it brings me love, joy, and peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
