I have lost something valuable.
"Life is beautiful when you look at it through God's eyes."
I have lost that amidst the day-to-day activities and general busy-ness. I would sure love to just get away to worship God and pray, re-direct my focus, and re-discover what His will for me is right now and for my life. God is holy, set apart, which means He is not set apart AMONG the important things in our lives. It means He is set apart FROM the important things in our lives. I'm sick of the general "Today I need to go to work, pray, pay bills, pick up XYZ from the grocery store, check my email, etc."
I want it to be "Today I need to pray" and see what comes after that. Or if anything does come after that at all, or if I just pray all day.
I'm so sick of my laziness. And my general lack of discipline in the area of time management. I waste my time on so many different pointless things. Things that are fleeting. Things that don't invest into my future. Yes, I still read my Bible. Yes, I still pray. But the relationship is lacking because my focus is out of whack. I need to get back to my first Love.
I'm thinking about heading up north for a bit and just taking some time for myself. Not to vacation, really, but to regain my focus. A trip to Duluth perhaps. But just to get away from life in general. Not to walk away from my problems, but to face them through the eyes of God and tackle them in a way where I will have VICTORY. My emotions have been like a rollercoaster lately. God is stable. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If I am striving to be like Jesus, I need to be stable. I need to be emotionally the same yesterday, today and forever. If I am not, then there is something wrong. Right now, life is not beautiful through my eyes.
