I almost forgot to blog, but here I am, and boy-o, are you glad!
Let me think if I read anything today other than twitter & facebook....hmmm...well...no...mmm...OOOH! I did! I actually read a little devotional book. I was feeling down & like I needed some good, old-fashioned, health & wealth kind of faith talk, so read my devotional book by Kenneth & Gloria Copeland. It's in Spanish, so I also get to work my skills while spending time with God. Double-duty.
Anyway, it was really good! It was about the parable of the sower, specifically the soil that is fertile but the rocks & weeds & the cares of this world come up and choke out the word. This immediately gave me a new energy and a better attitude.
a) I need to read my Bible or have intentional time with God much more often than I have been. It's just ridiculous.
b) I need to figure out if the weeds & rocks are just my thoughts and I need to remember the word, or if I have too much stuff crowding in on me, which makes it hard to remember the word.
It reminded me of the idea of having defensible space around your house if you live in a fire-prone area. I need a defensible space around my life, my health, and my relationship with God.
I may have just made a decision.
