First morning thoughts... no blog post yesterday...
A changing of habits... can be hard... new starts... can be slow...
New starts... can be rough...
Today... the first day of a new study with sisters... yesterday spent preparing the house to be hospitable...
Emerging from the bedroom... thoughts of failure on my mind... I discover... a window left open... the house filled with the faint smell of smoke... a brush pile burning overnight... seeped in... a frustration when you know guests are coming...
Feeling on the edge... heart filled with anger... toward self... and others... my morning continued...
The reading through... Shadrach.... Meshach... Abednego... standing firm... thrown into the firey furnace... walked out unsinged...
Perusing leader's guide... preparing for morning's study... whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it...
I realize... the failing... the frustration... have become distractions... turning my eyes toward me... Looking at me... turns my eyes away from the Light... where there is no variation... no dark... only grace...
For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
Psalm 36:9
NASB
(emphasis added)
Father God... thank You for revealing self-centered thoughts... for turning me back to the Light of Life...
