Isn't it just so sad the things we do that move us away from where we really want to be with God? What I mean is ... sometimes without even realizing what's happening we misdirect our focus for what seems like such a short time, and before we know it much time has passed, and we look up, with eyes wide in wonder and puzzlement, and think "Good Grief!!! "This is NOT where I wanted to be." Have you ever done that? I sure have, and it's been going on for a time.
You know, when I get into a nice, comfy, place I just want to stay there. Since I moved I've told a number of people that "I'm like a "pig in a puddle."
I just want to "waller" around in the newfound peace and joy that the Lord has provided. The only problem with that is that we have a tendency to get complacent and passive and we stop moving forward. OR Do you think maybe we sometimes need some time in one spot to rest and relax before the Lord is ready to move us along????? I think I'm ready... Am I Lord?

I was like that for a time and I love it when the Lord asked me to come back to blog and let others know about His love and grace in laughter and in tears.
Love and Hugs,

ya, it's just those little things that make me slip ... not enough bible reading ... too much secular reading (or tv watching) ... then before you know it, i'm grumpy instead of peaceful ...
blessings on your day and week! |

Sometimes, we just need to 'be still' to her Him. Don't worry!!! He gives us rest, one of His promises. I know you will be back under His power again real soon. You are a true Child of God!!! |

When the Shepherd gives you a nudge with his staff, it's moving time. |

I know just how you feel. It's SO easy to get distracted! It happens within days! I constantly have to "bring myself back"! |
