Say won't you Say

Back in the Habit

My times meeting with the wonderful miss Kari Kennedy are always great~but today she triggered something in me that was way over due. I think its so good to have someone in your life who will ask you the questions you dont want to be asked, but that you NEED to be asked. She reminded me the importance of not simply feeling close to the Lord, but that the goal is to continue to yearn for Him and know Him more more deeply. I feel like the last few weeks I have let myself plateau. I havent felt far from the Lord, but I have been compromising and selling myself short and who the Lord would have me be. I don't want my time spent with the Lord to become a duty or a habit, but I want to Thrive for it and to make it a priority that I want more that anything. So tonight when I was babysitting, after the kids were asleep and I had finished up some studying I had some good, much needed get real with God time. Even though school is crazy and Spring time is always the worst about feeling motivated to do anything except bask in the sun and spend some fun time with friends~It's not an excuse. I did a lesson last week with my bible study about "Joy" and I realized that there are lots of things that I can find Joy in pretty easily, but that I have been neglecting the Pure Source of my Joy, and the One who created the concept of Joy and has promised me Joy through the Holy Spirit. So I know that just like any relationship its going to take work and time and patience. I am thankful for Kari allowing me to be so honest with her and being honest with myself about such things. Taking it one day at a time.
