Sometimes (okay a lot of times) I get in these funks where I know God is real, I know He cares about me, but really I just want to do my own thing either because He isn't doing things my way or I've just drifted off without Him and I find myself far away from my Friend and Savior. I find myself looking back on sweet times when I wanted nothing more then to spend hours and hours in the Word and I felt like I was walking on clouds because I knew who I am in my Savior and who He is and was growing an learning so much!
Those sweet times are really hard for this lazy, stubborn sinner to maintain.
I've learned and forgotten and learned again that a great way to get out of this funk is to sing praise songs. Or thank Jesus for every little detail of life. For example, I'm currently in one of those funks... I was just sitting down stairs eating dinner and thanked Him for broccoli, flour wraps, roommates, my new underwear, money to buy new underwear, the fact that we have a kitchen floor, my compassion child, our refrigerator, and the ability to do dishes.
At work I have a really hard time paying attention to work and tend to daydream about the future... so I thanked God for the future (that kinda stopped the dding), for my chair, and music - then I came across a trouble and had to fix it and forgot to continue the thankful train.
But there ya go! Being thankful when you want to get back into Jesus is really helpful cause it puts the focus back on the Creator and less on me. Which turns my spirit back to and closer to Him. :)
Thank You Jesus for a blog. Thank You Jesus for today, and tomorrow, thank You that You never ever change. Thank You for being You.
