The other day my Mom commented on how I hadn't put up a new post since December 17th. WOOPS! I decided to change that...
Ready for the grammatically-incorrect ramblings?
Recently, I've found myself tired, sick, frustrated and annoyed with the monotony of life. I guess you could say I've been in a "Funk". I do love my job and I love everything I'm involved with at church but it seems like those aspects of my life have stolen most of my time. If I'm not at work, I'm at home and completely unmotivated to do anything. Lately, I've found myself wishing the week away to get to the weekend, and desperately hoping that my days off will last longer.
When I sit back and examine my recent attitudes, I've realized how utterly wrong I've been. For one, I'm so distracted by work, I don't spend much time with Jesus. The other day I met up with some ladies from church to pray and worship, and while we were praying I felt complete peace, which is something I hadn't felt for a while. It wasn't like we had some "big, Spirit-filled" time or anything we were only communicating with our Father. Honestly, how hard is it for me to talk to Jesus? And how thick in the head do I have to be to forget to do that?
Also, how dare I wish the week away! God has placed me where I am right now, so obviously he has work for me to do.
This stuff is a constant battle with me... but I'm going to keep on fighting. How will I combat these attitudes?!
My greatest weapon is TRUTH and WORSHIP! The more I hear truth, the more I forget all of my worries and the more peace I gain...
God has been using this song today to lift me out of my frustrations and put my focus back on Him...
You Are My Passion:
I'm alive to bring, glory to You, King.
God of victory, You are my passion.
It's in the way your are, You don't change at all.
Great and humble God, You are my passion.
My strength in life, is I am Yours.
My soul delights because I am Yours.
Your will on earth is all I'm living for.
Jesus I glorify.
Jesus my love is Yours.
You are my heart's desire.
I live to know You more.
Light that breaks the darkness, showing what true love is.
Always full of goodness, You are my passion.
You never do me wrong, the meekest man but strong.
The most perfect song, You are my passion.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter where I live, where I work, or how terrible I feel.... When I push all off that stuff away, I know that :
My strength in life, is I am Yours.
My soul delights because I am Yours.
Your will on earth is all I'm living for.
I'm not going to settle with the frustrations of this world!
Living for more,
Abby
