There are not enough hours in a day. I meant seriously, it's 9:08 pm and I'm yet to take a shower and the hornets play at 9:30 - it's the play-offs baby and YOU KNOW I LOVE BASKETBALL! Wake up, go to work, a friend's mother's wake (so sudden and sad), then home, quick 5.5 (BOO_ YOW) bike ride and some iPod psynchage and here I am.
Todays devotion on my iphone app said lots of great things. I wanted to touch on this statement:
"Simply going through the motions of reading God's Word was honestly not enough to light my path or transform my perspective" the write says. Does our heart really understand what our head knows. I go in spurts where I'm passionate about things and then they die down and then I get passionate again. I sometimes wonder if I just want to try and do too many things in 1 day or 1 evening, knowing that if I did fewer things well I would happier and more fulfilled. Am I "storing the information in the wrong spot?" What a great way to look at it. Yes I know the words of Scripture, but am I feeling them the way I should be? I need to study more and yearn for more. I need MY heart to understand the verses my head already knows. I need to know how to hold on and hide "His word in my heart..." Psalm 119:11
I had a wonderful conversation with my friend Dana today, we didn't talk nearly as long as I think we could have, as we have lots to catch up on. It sucks that the distance between people can be more than just miles. I do my best to call, write and text friends to let them know I'm thinking of them. It's another reason I don't want to get on facebook again. I spend so much time looking at pictures, reading peoples complaints about things or playing games that I throw away valuable time that could be spent building on those relationships that I have already spent the last 30 years (some fewer of course, in Dana's case about 10) nurturing.
As I've said, I've enjoyed my Lenten journey away from Facebook and into the world of blogging and devotion. I promised myself that I wouldn't use this as just an out to complain about things, when there is so much more in my life to rejoice in and be thankful for. Don't worry, if you know me, you know I can complain but then name me one person you know doesn't? Thank you.
One thing I'm thankful for is that tomorrow is Wednesday. Nicole will be here on Thursday and I'm SOOOOO looking forward to that and having a girls night. I miss my girls. That is all.
