Spontaneous Adjectives

Hello bloggers! How is it going? Having a pretty good day? Yeah?

So my newest goal this week (hopefully for the rest of the summer) is to get TOTALLY FIT YAH! I mean, I usually run a bit, but I want to start doing weight training again, so that I can do as many pull-ups as my sister....who doesn't really work out, mind you. But she can still do way more pull-ups than me. Go figure.

But anyway...my goal is set and I promise I WILL reach it. I'm committed...I'm ready. Yeeeessss.

Commitment and dedication are important...and they're both extremely important in my life. I've always, always, all my life made lists and set goals and worked until I achieved those goals, no matter how long it takes. But sometimes...I find myself committing to the wrong things, making the wrong things the focus of my daily life.

And when you commit yourself to the wrong direction, it can be hard to set it right again.

God is the only one who can show you which direction you need to be going, what instructions you need, and it's up to us to open our ears and listen to Him (which can be a lot harder than I want it to be)!

Anyway, for me, I've always found it easier to distinguish His voice when I'm talking to him everyday, getting wrapped up in the Word, keeping the focus on Him. Because when the focus is up there, the path usually becomes a lot more clear...and a lot more narrow.

Following God's instructions doesn't always make life fine and dandy, and it certainly, certainly doesn't make it any easier. But in the end, it's always towards good, and it's always worth it.

"Great is our Lord and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure." Psalm 147:5. He understands it when we don't. So trust in Him, and you'll find yourself reaching goals you never imagined.

I love you guys, my spontaneous adjectives, and I hope you have a fabulous day.
