I apologize for not keeping up with the blog the past few weeks. I am in the process of standing up for what is right, and it is not easy. You see, over the past month or two I have turned my head and my heart to unimportant things and have begun to slouch spiritually. You know, to truly stand up straight and have good posture takes work, work, work. I got so tired of my ballroom instructors telling me "head up, shoulders down, back straight". Aaahh!! But you know what? After a while, I started getting compliments on my excellent posture! It became natural to stand up with perfect posture. It can be tiresome and a bit painful at first, getting all those muscles to work for you, but eventually it comes together and the end result is worth it. The same is true for standing up straight spiritually. My spiritual muscles have weakened and I am working at making them strong again. God has shown me His grace and has given me a handful of loyal sisters to get me back on track. Every day my soul longs for His Word a little more, and every day the Word becomes a little sweeter to me. I don't regret making mistakes, even though the consequences aren't pretty; I would regret not learning from them, though. God has turned my mistakes into great lessons for my life. Someday I may be able to use these experiences to encourage someone else should their faith falter.
I hope now that, as my eyes turn off myself and back onto God and others, I will be consistent in keeping my blog up to date so you all can see the great blessings and mercies God shows to me each new day. Thank you for checking this blog, for checking on me.
