Committments

Re-Prioritising and re-committing

I committed to reading the Bible for 90 days from cover to cover and scheduled slots for this into my schedule (post coming soon promise) but there always seemed to be something else to finish up first or I slept in and missed that slot etc

I committed to decluttering daily and put a slot into my schedule for this and did follow this for a couple of days.

I committed to following my schedule and didn’t, at least not entirely; and as the week progressed I followed it less and less. Today I didn’t even glance at it.

I’ve posted my priorities regularly and then not prioritised them. Many priorities for last week still sit undone.

I’ve given my word to do these things and that word is now mud. Pure and simple.

I’ve failed.

BUT I have a wonderful Saviour who doesn’t expect me to always succeed and wants me to rely more on Him and do as He would have me to do and all this time I’ve been drowning Him out.

That quiet voice inside of me telling me to pick up the Guide Book (Bible) and read, or get off that very interesting (and often times godly) blog and put on the laundry, or tidy that space rather than just blogging that I will and then not doing so.

God’s been whispering to me while I’ve been sitting at the computer idol giving it my attention or zoning out in front of the TV or just zoned out asleep when I should be up and starting the day. I’ve been trying to be all spiritual and godly and reading through His word while I ignore Him and try to shut out all His word tries to teach me.

This very blog aims to be a voice about Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 (neither of which I’ve talked about since I re-started posting) and aiming to grow to be like that which God desires. Yet all this time . . .

Well I could go on but I won’t after all this is all about getting off the computer and away from the goggle box.

Today I start afresh (okay tonight as it is half seven PM)). I have my to-do list beside me – scribbled on a post-it – I’m not blogging it – I’m going to do it instead! The priorities are going to be as God leads or as I feel He leads.

I will continue to post daily except Sunday but I won’t be reading any blogs for a while (excepting my online devotion and Mom’s Toolbox SOAP as I try to catch-up with everyone else). The schedule’s getting a re-jig tonight and there’ll be more Bible time and less everything else. More husband and less screen. Most importantly more God and less talk about God.

Pray for me please. I have an addictive personality that’s why I find moderation of screen time, chocolate etc hard. Pray that I’ll get addicted to doing God’s will in m home and marriage, in my work and life in general. Pray with me that I’ll get addicted to reading His word and following it and Him. Amen.

P.S. Finally finished Leviticus and am part way through Numbers 3
