Random pictures of late that make me smile.
It’s been a little while since I posted because….life has intervened.
I told Scott last night that I get so frustrated every time I try to get my act together and organize things and stop letting life be so haphazard. Every time I set out to do this, it seems like things go in just the opposite direction and get so much worse.
I’m experiencing much the same thing in my spiritual life. I’m drawing closer to God, which should make things easier and better….but instead, I see more of my shortcomings. That frustrates me and drives me closer to being frustrated and depressed than to spiritual enlightenment.
*sigh*
As my accountability partner told me last week, it sounds like I need to “press on.” Just keep on keeping on. I’m going in the right direction, whether it seems like it or not.
In our first class of Financial Peace University last night, he put it this way: Discipline isn’t fun at the time, but it brings great rewards. This idea is also expressed in the book of Hebrews:
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (12:11)
So press on, I shall.
2 of your thoughts:
Oh, I'm jealous! Leah's starting to get some length to her hair!!!
and do press on.
You know how there are those times you spend all that time getting closer to God and the closer you get the more aware you are of your sin, and how MUCH sin that still entangles you? It's because you're getting nearer to his light which uncovers the darkness in us.
I think that organization is probably similar. The more you try to get organized, the more you realize how much needs to be organized that you didn't even realize!
Hang in there.
I'll pray for you.
Love you!!!
Honey, you're doing all you can with the time that's allotted for YOU. Unless Scott complains or Leah is deprived, just do what you can when you can do it.
That's my advice. And believe me, I understand.
