Because He Gave Me Breath

Not much to blog today. I have a lot to do and I woke up late. I do want you to know that I woke up thinking, "I don't want to do life today." I have a lot on my mind, and I a lot I need to do. I want to enjoy the sun, a book, and a blanket. I have said this often lately. I sound lazy I am sure. However, I don't act on my laziness. I know that I must choose responsibility and I must be in tune with what God has for my day. So I got up showered and dressed. I am here at the desk blogging, and checking email. I will choose to clean house, and prepare meals. I don't want to, ladies. I have already blown off breakfast. Kevin is busy trying to help me between work assignments. I didn't ask him. He volunteered. We don't seem to be getting along though. He is preoccupied. I am apathetic. It don't seem to be a good start of a day but I believe it will change. It will change, girlfriends, when I change my attitude.

I may not want to do life today, but God gave me breath this morning when I woke up. It's not about me. Imagine that. The best way I know to have an attitude adjustment is to open up His word and dedicate my day to the Lord's purposes and plans.

This mornings scripture:

Ephesians 5:15-21

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Definitions: (Mirriam Webster)

Circumspectly: Carefully consider all circumstances and possible consequences.

Redeeming: Serving to offset or compensate for a defect (in otherwords "make worthwhile").

Dissipation: An act of self indulgence.

So Ladies, today I choose "responsibility". I choose to "Walk in Wisdom" (the title given to this scripture in my Bible). I don't think laziness or self indulgence is assigned today. I look forward to the blessing of obedience. I sound so spiritual don't I? If you know me, I am really screaming and whining inside, but here I go....walking the talk. Good thing I put the tennis shoes on. I have a feeling it's going to be a HIKE today to get to where God wants me.

Love ya truly, acf
