No excuse...

I have no excuse for why I haven't posted in more than a week. I have been busy, but I'm really getting tired of everyone using that excuse for everything. "I'm too busy to write, I'm too busy to contact you, I'm too busy to pay attention, I'm too busy study my bible, I'm too busy to care, I'm too busy to be a good friend, I'm too busy...I'm too busy...I'm too busy." Yeah, yeah...we get it! Guess what! We are all busy in one way or another. So, you have two options...you can either get with the program and do what you are called to do and what is right by friends and family, or you can be the biggest loser in the world by losing the people that are supposed to matter most to you. Your choice.

So, my life, while busy has also been really boring. I realize that most of you out there do not find it possible, but it's really true. We are currently in a huge rut! It didn't take long. All of our weeknights are taken up with stuff. There are some things that shouldn't be considered stuff, but they are. Honestly, nothing is important except my relationship with Christ, and...you guessed it!...I am not doing well in that department. Why? Please see paragraph one of this post. It's not something I am proud of...in fact...I'm really ashamed. However, now that I have recognized this problem with the most important relationship in my life I can start over again. That's the coolest thing about knowing Jesus...and I mean REALLY knowing Jesus...my past is just that--my past. Nothing more. I don't have to get down in the muck and wallow around in it, and I don't have to worry about His response to my sins. "You are forgiven!" The three sweetest and most amazing words I can ever hear. Thank you, Lord, for loving me more than anyone ever could. You are truly incredible!!
