All About Me?

It has been a while since I have taken the time to sit down in front of the computer and attempt to share with you. If I am being completely honest, I have not had the motivation or desire. I could also explain it as just being LAZY. Those of you that know me, know that I do not take time to stop very often. Now that it is summer and school is out it has become a daily habit to be lazy. I mean I have been doing a few projects in the yard, but for the most part I have not done much else.

I keep repeating my own words back to myself that - NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL I DO!! So, here I am, trying to change the rut that I am in. Do you ever get in that place? The place of complacency and laziness. The place where Satan loves for us to dwell. I woke up this morning and realized that I have given Satan a place to dwell. Well that STOPS NOW!! I am kicking Satan back to hell where he belongs.

I need Jesus so much more than anything else in my life. I miss Him. I know that nothing has changed between us except that I have stayed away. He NEVER moved away. I also had my eyes opened the other day when someone asked me to pray for them that it is NOT ALL ABOUT ME. What??? Yes, God showed me that just perhaps the time I need to spend with Him is not only for me. He can use my time with Him to lift up others' needs. Just as I decided to sit down and write this post, not for me, but for those that may read it and not feel so alone. We all get stuck in the mud and can't seem to get out. I hate that I let Satan keep me bound for so long.

I pray for each of you. May you be able to seek God and press on when you feel like you are sinking in the mud. Know that you are not alone. There are others that are trying their best to keep pressing on as well. Raise up your hands and let the God who knows you and loves you pull you up. Psalm 40:2 (NIV) says "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Let Him help you to stand firmly upon the rock.
