I am exhausted! Tonight I may actually be in bed by 10 I am so exhausted. I am constantly amazed by how much energy writing takes out of me. It is the most amazing, exhausting job ever. I am ahead of schedule, but I always keep pushing. I hate the pressure I put on myself when it comes to goals. Instead of resting and celebrating, I tend to just create a new loftier expectation.
I forgave more today. It feels good. But I think what I mean by that is I became more comfortable admitting my own weakness. It is amazing how many times I need to take step 1. Next week I teach on the benefit of admitting you are wrong. Well, I should have plenty of examples from my life!
I am entirely amazed by the goodness of God. I am also amazed by how true His word is. There have been so many times in my life when everyone around me made excuses for all the hard things Jesus said. I love being in a church community where I am free to not make excuses. It has so incredibly changed my life. I am still in awe that when I follow Jesus, He does take care of me just like He has promised. I guess the only way to learn that is to follow Him and see what happens.
In any case, I am hoping to whack out another good portion of my book tomorrow, so I am saving all the creative brain cells possible for that endeavor.
Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. – Proverbs 30:7-9
