At some point last night I realized that I had posted my second post before the initial one. Im still figuring all of this out~blogging, etc….but I just want to share my thoughts. I laughed at myself because the post ‘Anxiety’ came before the initial post about “Living Gratefully”….I thought to correct it but then began to think about how sometimes mistakes in life can send a person spiraling…..a teen getting their first traffic ticket, a Mom yelling at her child, a friends betrayal….. We are human beings and will make mistakes every. single. day. As a person who wants to live a life pleasing to God, Im well aware that I cannot do this on my own. It’s apparent that when Im irritable, and/or exhausted I’m leaning on my own strength and not His. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Don’t walk around carrying the guilt. The Bible says “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). I would encourage anyone to pour their heart out to God every day. Thank Him for a new day, confess anything that you’ve done wrong and make amends if possible to the person that you may have wronged. Ask God to help you live in a way that is pleasing to Him. Enjoy your day and remember to smile. It might brighten someone else’s day! As I’ve often said, “Your worst day on earth with Jesus is better than your best day on earth without Him.” I realize that every person that reads these posts may not share my faith. It’s okay, I know that God meets every person whose heart is open to Him right where they are on this journey called ‘life’. Im grateful that you’re here:)
