Walking Everyday...

So, I am going to be perfectly honest with you all... lately my walk with God has been up and down on my part. One week I am really dedicated to spending time everyday with Him and the next it is hit or miss. Each time I do spend quality time with Him it is so rich and makes me think a lot and I would think that this would want me to spend more time with Him. But instead of allowing Him to come first and dictate my day I have been putting everything else first and telling myself oh once I get this task done I will spend time in the Word-- and as we all know then it never happens or I push it back to right before I go to bed and then I know I am not giving God the quality time He deserves. I am seeking people (Malissa my discipler and coach pictured above) to hold me accountable to scheduling time with God into my day (having a schedule if very important to me:)) . And I have been studying and reading the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7. And there is such good stuff in there. God has definitely been teaching me a lot about my attitude and the way I view myself and others. I am just so thankful that God is always faithful to me even when I am unfaithful to Him.

Walking in the power of the Holy Spirit is a daily choice. I can see how my walk and time with the Lord definitely reflects on walking the the power of the Spirit. When I am not spending regular time with God my flesh comes out instead of the Spirit. And sometimes it is a struggle. I find that I need to ask everyday for the Holy Spirit to be my guide and my light, otherwise I find myself getting frustrated or angry with little things like someone not using their turn signal in front of me when I am driving. And how am I to lead others if I am not being lead by Jesus and the Holy Spirit? I know it is a choice I must make each day to not be ruled by my flesh and fleshly desires but to surrender to the Lord and to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

I would love your prayers and please feel free to add your comments.

Lovin' Him
