Inconsistency is growth

Tommy just asked me if I was done with my blog. Ha! No! I did take two days off but this is actually growth people. I have decided that it is a goal and a desire to blog everyday but Sunday BUT here is the growth part: it's not a rule. That may not seem like a big deal to any of you, but it's huge to me.

I am the kind of person who has big ideas and big rules all the time. I commit to grand changes and reforms then, I fail quickly and get frustrated and give up. It is a destructive cycle that has painful consequences, especially in my spiritual life, but God is good and he has been working on me. 

All that was just a way to say that Tommy has been out of town and returned late on Wednesday night, then I had a birthday party for a very special friend (Love you Danielle) on Thursday night and it was just too much to write this blog with everything else going on. It is a gift of wisdom from the Lord to persevere and yet see when it's better to not blog. 

I have been keeping up with reading in the Word, which is good. The Lord has blessed with a significant schedule change that allows me to have some quiet peaceful time in the morning, when the house is still and I am refreshed. It is lovely. I am hoping that as our new schedule becomes routine I will have more time to pray. That is the conviction that has been growing in my lately. I really don't pray as much or as diligently as I would like to.

That's all for me tonight. In this life of ups and downs today has been very pleasant. Thank you Lord!
