January 15, 2015

I have a bad attitude today...a baditude, if you will...(Seriously, that horrible joke is helping me get through the day, though!)

I am struggling with my frustration level today.  I am also craving sweets today.  I have no idea if they are connected, but they sure feel that way.  It is not making me question my faith or why I am doing this, but I am having to work hard at focusing on how I want to live my life.  This is so much more difficult to do when I am mentally/emotionally exhausted - which I feel right now.  

Even writing this down is helping me to let go of some of the angst I have been holding on to...I am not perfect, nor do I think I can attain perfection.

I like how The Message translates Philippians 3:12-14:

"I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made.  But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me.  Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward - to Jesus.  I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back."

That is how I want to live my life...and so that is my focus today.
