distracted.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood.
I'm daily battling with....me. I want to walk into the promises of God. I don't want to miss a THING God has for me, but I sometimes get in my own way. I'll be steadily in alignment with his will for a period of time, pursuing His purpose, being obedient to His commands.. then something, the smallest thing, knocks me off track. Willing spirit. Weak flesh. I command distraction to leave me in the name of Jesus. That's all I have.

GM.
Rough mornings.
Today started off a little off… I had a mixture of emotions.
It’s only 9:30 am and already I have been angry, worried, frustrated, and sad. Now there’s a number of reasons I’m feeling this way but this one just sent me over. So I’m on my way to work, it's pouring rain, and there’s a wreck down the road that I take every morning. So, I wait patiently… I wait patiently some more… and some more. Finally, I decide to turn around and take an alternate route. Well, what do you know? There’s a wreck right here too. I’m calling my dad and can’t get an answer. I’m literally driving in a direction that I am not familiar with, nor do I have the slightest clue where I’m going (I think I actually may have been headed toward Cincinnati maybe lol). Here I am frustrated and mad, blaming everything on the devil. Praise Is What I Do was playing at the time, so I turned it up full blast in my car. The further along this (life) journey I get, the more I’m learning to give thanks in the middle of complicated, frustrating, impossible situations. In the back of my mind though, just for some reason, I’m not worried because I know I’m going to find my way to the right exit. My phone rings just in time and it’s my dad. I’m like two miles away from the exit I need to be on. All I could do was tell him thanks, such a relief. Then I started thinking about the place I’m at in my life. I’m just driving. I DO NOT know where I’m headed. I have not theee slightest clue. But I know for CERTAIN that the right exit is just ahead if I just keep driving, keep praising. I feel like I’m calling God trying to get a response and there’s no answer, you may be feeling like this too. Just know that He’s gonna call back just in time, right up the road, and tell you “Your exit is right here.” Go ahead and tell him “Thanks Dad” in advance. You’re not lost.
Ps 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
