I hate when I get stuck on the hook. I mean really…. I am human! So… I might not have
been totally awake yesterday as I was sitting in church. In my defense, I had just gotten out of a Sunday school class with 26 pre-schoolers that morning, so I was exhausted! As I was listening, the pastor brought up the words we use and how they can affect people. Since I am all about words, both written and spoken (a lot of them according to Mike) I make an effort to pay attention when the subject is brought up. Well he noted the verse:
It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. James 3:5 Continue reading “What’s the fuel to your fire?”
step carefully as I walked, making sure to navigate around the bumps and place my feet on flat ground. Why? Because I am such a clutz! Now there was plenty of good ground to step on, but I had to pay attention to make sure that is where I was walking. I took the picture because that is really how I am feeling right now. My life’s path feels a bit bumpy, so I am taking it slow trying to make it through. The picture gives me hope, as the path does eventually smooth out, and I know my life’s path will too. It is only a matter of time…..
What happens when you focus so much on yourself and your own problems that you can’t see anything else? I have gone through so many different emotions today. I woke up and was feeling pretty down. I am feeling some stress from the decisions I have made, and so I was trying to work out some of my feelings. (wow….used the word feelings a lot) Maybe that was my problem this morning? So many feelings, but so little perspective.
