Right now the number one thing that pulls at my time is my job. I teach in a middle school and find that I not only leave work late, I bring it home with me in the evenings and weekends…I feel like my life revolves around my job and not my God or family. I find myself miserable with no relief.

She wants to sit down in front of the computer,check out blog posts and check emails instead of just being still and listen to God. There’s hope though because I know I have the resources to overcome flesh woman through his power.

Knowing this is a tactic of the enemy;because I know God is faithful & has been all these 39 yrs! Then of course, if I oversleep! It’s really on then!

We are trying so hard to keep her still in order for her to heal and hopefully be whole again. But she fights it. Even though it is what is best for her, she wants to do too much, and gets angry when I stop her (yes, sweet little girl dogs get angry sometimes).

I, myself, fight being still. I want to DO and go and earn and get and…I’m fighting it. I have forgotten to KNOW and feel and receive…grace, mercy, love…still.

There are so many things that distract me, lazy, excuses like my son woke up 4 times and 10 more minutes of disrupted sleep will help, computer time, just not wanting to be late and also not telling my family that I need to make quiet time a priority and then being held accountable. I use my family as an excuse a lot. I don’t want to make my already hard working husband have to take on more things, my kids need me, etc. But He is ever so gently and patiently pulling me closer and my desire to be with Him is getting stronger. I will get there, with His amazing help.

I am stressed with homework and use those sights to procrastinate, I end up comparing myself with everyone who posts and i just feel so empty and depressed at the end of the day. I should run to Jesus and have him fill me up. Because only God can truly encourage me.
