Dear friend,
Do I lack self control...let's see, I have not posted to last weeks meme until today because I was watching Molly and McGee. I wanted to see them grow. I did not take time to fulfill my commitment to my friend.
Do I lack self Control....daily, there are to many things available to distract me from what I should be doing or where I should be that would glorify God, not entertain me. To many toys and gadgets for "fun". The computer, my biggest downfall, I could spend all day in front of this box, hours passing as I research family tree, my unending quest for the perfect school curriculum, my love of learning, keeping up on the latest world news. In an of itself, these are not bad things, until I look at the clock and it is the wee hours of the morning, and I know that I will be tired, short tempered and easy to fly off the handle at those who I love the most. I will drag through the day waiting for a moment to sleep.
I know then I will not pick up God's word, for my tired eyes will not focus on the writings of my Lord when I so need them the most. I know that I will not be the best for my kids, for my husband but mostly for my LORD who knows I do need rest, especially in HIM.
Days that I do this, my whole family suffers. Should I lean on the gift that God has so graciously given me...this battle would not be, but as a toddler having a tantrum I dont want to...and in the words of my youngest "you cant make me". This is not entirely true, God could "make" me, but I have to be willing to let HIM grow me, change me and turn my sinful, filthy heart to HIM.
