It's been a while since I have been on here. Lots has happened but that is just how life is. Yes, life can sometimes be a mess in many different ways.
Erin and Tyler came home this week from college. My house was a mess. It was like those shows on TV about the hoarders. I had clothes, bedding, kitchen stuff, just everything from their dorms in my hall ways and living room. I am happy and blessed that they made it through their second year of college and that they are home. BUT I am use to having my home somewhat clean and not this messy!! It is now Saturday and there is still all kinds of stuff down here but on the bright side, I can walk through the house.
I will get this all cleaned up today while the kids are out of the house doing things with their friends.
Isn't it that way with life. I mess up. I pray and smile and get my day off with good intentions to be like Christ and live how I should, but I mess up. Somewhere in my day, that devil gets in me and knows what buttons to push and my day turns black. What I do is let this blackness consume me and the result is frustration, sarcasm, impatience and I am not thinking straight. The light I want to shine is covered by this attitude I have.
If I would slow down when this happens and realize what is happening then I can overcome this. I have been through a lot in my life up to now and I should know by now how to handle this. But satan knows how to deceive us.
Just like I am going to clean up my mess in my house, God is there to help clean us up. He is always there to give us GRACE and FORGIVENESS. We just have to ACCEPT this gift he is giving us. It is hard to be humble and admit you were wrong and made the mess. But God is there to pick us up and help us on our feet. And when we can't walk, he will carry us.
So my messes I make, which pretty much is everyday, I know that God understands and he is there to help me get through my messes and help me stay on the path he has for me.
1 John 4:4 says "You are from God and have OVERCOME them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
Love to all,
