This post gets filed under the "Blunder" heading. Six months have gone by since my last post. I only have 2 followers anyway but the point of this blog was to "share" some of my life with people and I haven't been doing very well with that. I won't try to play catch up. I'll just go from here and hope I can make posts more often.
Besides letting my blog get forgotten I've also let my quiet time with God get pushed out of my routine. I let excuses of being tired and/or busy get me out of it. And I'm seeing the consequences of it. My anxiety level is much worse, my relationships are struggling, my thinking is not what it should be, etc. I really want to get back on track and get back to a close relationship with God. Afterall, He is why I am here and He is who I should be living for. Yesterday I just opened up my bible to a random page and it opened to Lamentations 3. I read the whole chapter and each verse had something in it for me. But the verses I want to share with you in that chapter are 22 and 23. "The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Even though I've been off track, out of His word for quite some time, He has never left me and accepts me back. I don't deserve that but I am very grateful for it. And rather than letting shame keep me back, I want to share my heart and my life with my Savior. He died for it and it's the least I can give to Him.
I love that verse! It reminds me that no matter what happened yesterday, Jesus forgives me and today is a new day and He sees me fresh and clean. What a relief! :)
