Happy Thursday Ladies!!!
I pray that you will bear with me in developing a consistent routine for posting.
Everyday that I wake up, the first person or thing to come to my mind is Jesus, because I know it is only the Lord who wakes me up daily and protects me as I sleep. However, I have to be real, I am struggling with finding a balance in life. Though Jesus is the first person I think of and I think of God's awesomeness throughout my day, I realize that I lack in other areas of my relationship with God. I talk to him throughout my day, not always in an on my knees manner, but I sometimes find it hard to balance my time to make sure that I read His word the way I should and would like to. Sometimes, I (and you too) get so caught up in living, of which I am really trying to do for my heavenly father, that by the time, i realize I have not taken a period of time to study and meditate on His word, it is late, I am sleepy, and feel like the word won't sink in in my sleepy state. In my growth I realize that God appreciates realness, because He can not work with us if we are not 'keeping it real.' Lately, I have been saying to God, Lord I don't know why or how I slack on reading your word, but please enter my heart so that I may desire you and your word more. I know this is not my only flaw in my relationship with God, but this has been heavy on my heart. Though it plagues me and makes me feel like I am failing God at times, He is so wonderful, because he gently gives me peace and lets me know that He is still here and that he sees and knows my heart and He is and will continue working on me. God is so forgiving and understanding!!! It is insane! ( Sidenote: How wonderful would the world be if we were more forgiving?) I know I am not the only one who needs to get real with herself and God or ho has flaws in their relationship with God, but pray that you not give up on your relationship with God just because you maybe slacking in some area. God's love never waivers, and He is just waiting on us to call out to him for help!!!
Live, Love, Be Happy
