The great part about this tool is that I can share folders. I keep each bullet point updated and Shan is able to see what I\u2019m doing as well as stay in the know. It\u2019s been a great tool for our working relationship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are also virtual sticky notes to place on computers and there\u2019s even an app for cell phones. I haven\u2019t found them to be as useful, but still they are a good reminder of those quick things that need attention.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But there are times when I hear something or want to write something down while away from my computer or paper and pen, I pull out my trusty cell phone and send myself a text message.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I ran through some of the text messages to myself. Here are a few of the snippets I found that don\u2019t make any sense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cCan\u2019t do it on line because they need the rocket.\u201d (What does that really mean???)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI got a pencil army is on my always buy mine.\u201d (auto spelling really got this one wrong\u2026it was supposed to say The God of angel armies is always by my side\u2026close.)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMorning new morning his new every morning Julie com with the Donnie the best part of waking up.\u201d (I have no idea what this is supposed to mean)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cNature box save.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some of my texts are practical.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cEnded work at 12:45.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPretzel mix, coffee filters, tea bags, steak, marinade, potatoes, string cheese, measuring cup.\u201d (what a grocery list!)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cLumber Lock and Lucas Slick Mist Wax.\u201d (must have been gift ideas)<\/li>\n<li>\u201c6:30 Rachel Twisted Scissors\u201d (reminder of a hair appointment\u2026I guess I didn\u2019t think I could put it on my calendar???)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some I thought I would use in writing along the way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cLight, reflection, refraction, prism, convex, and concave.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBeware of\u2026well, just beware.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGrowth comes from continuous effort. \u2013 Ford sign\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWon\u2019t stain when you miss our mouth. \u2013 Rock Water\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI must exchange whispers with God before shouts with the world. -Lysa TerKeurst\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then there are song titles to use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cGod so Loved the World\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGlorious One\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJesus, Lover of my Soul\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOceans\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget the verses of Scripture that I needed to be reminded of.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cGenesis 1:1.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPsalm 16:11.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPsalm 91:1.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIsaiah 43:2-3.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201c2 Corinthians 4:16.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are addresses, websites, phone numbers, and names. I think there are even some meeting minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to remind you that God sends messages to you on a regular basis. We see His message in creation. We see His message in people. We see His message in music. We see His message in our own lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly we see God\u2019s message through Scripture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the message God would like for you to hear today is listed above. Maybe it isn\u2019t. When you listen for God\u2019s message and are open to His words, it will be the perfect message for you. There won\u2019t be any misspellings. There won\u2019t be grammatical errors. God\u2019s message and His timing are perfect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t wait to see what God has to say to me today!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I have learned to write down everything that is important enough for me to remember.
