It's been about a week of blogging. I know my life doesn't seem that exciting- and I'm sure there are better things to do than read my rants and raves each day. But for those of you whom are reading, thanks. It means a lot to me.
I don't have any major parting thoughts, because for the past 2 days I haven't read my Bible or listened to the podcasts. Naturally, I haven't been feeding my spirit, so I'm feeling drained. Not to mention that when I'm not focused on the Word, my kids tend to get out of control, my communication with my wife can break down, I get upset about things easily and in general, things just don't feel right. I suppose I need to draw back into Christ, so that everything else will fall back in line.
James 4:7-8 (New International Version)
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
UPDATE:
After I initially posted, things fell apart even further. My daughter was out of control, refusing to listen or go to bed. I got angry with her for not listening, which fueled her tantrum and she ended up breaking her closet door. It was an accident, but wasn't fun. Not a Christian way to live, on either of our part. However, she is 6 and I'm 30 years her senior. I have no excuse for losing my temper.
Lord, I repent for acting in anger toward my baby girl. This isn't what you would do, or how you would act. Even when you are angry, you're never out of control. I pray you work on this area of my life. Please help me to get my foolish anger and tongue under control.
Proverbs 29:20 (New International Version)
Do you see a man who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
