It is morning and I am going through my normal routine of trying to focus again on another day. I stood looking in my mirror rubbing on my anti-aging cream and again thinking to myself this is not as fun as it use to be when I looked into the mirror and didn’t see the wrinkles. I have my IPOD playing music in the background of my Christian songs and of course my favorites. Again I face the decision whether to walk and turn my thoughts away from aging, sorrows and not feeling 20 anymore to God. I try to listen to the words of the song playing and sometimes sit down in a chair for one song. Again another day to choose to walk with Him.
One thing I do to help in this turning my mind is to leave my Bible and study books right where I can’t miss them. It invites me every time I pass to sit and think and look at the source and solution to my distractions and my heart. I also regularly pray during this time to keep me hungry for Him. I am afraid my hunger so often is for life to be easy, happy and less stressful and yet I know God’s desire is that I bear much fruit and glorify Him. That does not happen unless I make that choice daily to be and walk with Him.
Might I encourage you today to make that choice to spend time walking with the only one who can and does direct our minds upward when many things try to keep us focus on our immediate surroundings. Read the Word!
Stand Firm!
Press On!
Look Up!
Keep Walking with the Father!

Thanks for that reminder today. Our tendency is just to want life to be easy and comfortable when the Lord has so much more for us, even through the pain. I needed to hear that today too. Love you.
