This year,
like the last few, the months of January thru about oh- June, I have a renewed
spirit for the Lord. Always one of my
New years resolutions is to get closer with the Lord. And with the cold weather
keeping my homebound more often, it is easier to get caught up in God’s word.
But it
always seems like as soon as summer hits… I start to lose “steam” for the Lord.
I still go to church as much as possible. I still pray everyday… but theres
something different. Something that isn’t
as “gung ho” as it was back in January.
These last
few months just looking thru my blog posts you can see such a difference in my post…
going from “life issues” to God focused posts. This year is no different
starting out than the last few years.
But this year, I am going to make this the year that I stay about God
all year long.
I know this
will be hard especially as most of my close friends have a different mindset
than I do. They are all about going out, partying, having a good time… Not that
there is anything wrong with having a good time. I am all about a good time..
but I need to make sure that good time, doesn’t interfere with my walk with
God.
Last
summer, I went a little crazy. I just kinda went with the flow.. Drank way too
much, put my goals above the Lords. Every weekend, I was going out and having fun. I still tried to go to church when I felt
well enough to go on Sunday… but by the end of the year… I was there less and
less. I always found some excuse for Not
Going.
I don’t
want this summer to be like that. I want this summer to be focused on My Lord,
My family and then my friends. There isn’t
going to be the going out drinking, late night parties at my house, wild and
crazy nights… I will still have fun this
summer but will do it respectfully… Respectfully for My Lord, My self and My
kids.
