It has been awhile since I last posted. I'm hoping to change that but, life has a way of keeping you way tooo busy,don't you agree.? So instead of letting it control me...I'm saying- no, this is the one life God has given me and I want to live it with purpose and determined steps. What does that look like. Well today, I'm starting a new exercise program. I'm excited and nervous all at once. I've always been one to work out but, lately that's taken a back seat and i've been left feeling over-tired, lethargic, and unhealthy. Ummm hello tree...you can do something about this. So, first step- join a gym. Second, get some accountability. Third, do the work...which is yet to be seen. I do this in alot of areas. I let something slip once...then before i know it I've allowed myself to become complacent and then I'm feeling out of sorts and unhealthy. Spiritually this sucks. I know that the only place I find true peace and joy is when I've taken time to be with Christ. To sit at his feet and allow Him to minister to my heart and let HIS words of truth be the foundation of my thoughts and actions. But, often I do the fast food version of this. I read a 2 minute devotion and throw up a quick prayer and then go on trying to live this life the best I can. The results are- obvious. There is no power in my life. No true inspiration and direction. I'm hoping for a quick fix from God but, He's asking for all of me and is that something I'm willing to give?
I've said the prayer more than once- I give you my life, my heart, please forgive me of my sins...please come into my life and change me. For me, those words are like saying the pledge of allegiance...they've been said so many times I don't even realize what they mean. So today, I'm going to take a deep breath...and meditate on those words , let them sink into the deep parts of my soul and fill in the cracked and broken places i'm daily discovering...
This is hopeful...
This will take time...
This is worth it!
