On the right track...

It seems I get headed in the right direction and something happens - like this past week I was sick - and then I get totally off track again. I am getting back into the swing of things. I want this to be a habit that sticks thru thick and thin. When I was in college - I read my Bible and journaled daily. You would think I wouldn't struggle with it the way I do. but alas, I do. :)

Psalms 3

³ But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.

He is the only one who can do that and not fail me.

Galations 5

¹ So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Funny how I needed to hear that today. I want to make reading my Bible a regular thing I do but don't want it to be a cut and dried - do or die slavery thing either. It's about a relationship and I know that - just tend to get busy and forget that. I needed that reminder.

⁴ For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

Grace - need I say more. :)

What is important is faith expressing itself in love. - Live by this and you'll go far.

²⁵ Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

Every part not just the parts I choose.

I just got back from group and left contemplating something that someone said that hit to close to home. That thing that was said was - When your busy, you don't deal with the inner stuff. I am seeing how my business keeps me from my inner stuff. Which is evident by my lack of posts. I want/need/desire that relationship - but fail to make things happen. Priorities.

God, change me - mold me. Make me more and more like you everyday, I know that will only happen as I seek you. From this day on I will seek time with you - for You alone. I will make time to meet with You, my king. Teach me you ways. I am yours. amen
