New Week

Wow...I have wanted to sit down to write a great deal...I told Chris I had so much going on in my head that needed a place to land...well this is where a lot of those things land....good or bad...it is a very good outlet!
Anyhow, I have decided a few things....I watch way too much tv on a given day. It is not on much during the day but often at night I can sit for a couple hours and waste my life becoming wrapped up in things that don't matter and have no eternal significance. I am not at all saying that these things are wrong...I am just saying I struggle. Granted, I have been on some crazy medication that has limited my eye sight, but slowly it is coming back and therefore I will have no excuse whatsoever.
I have struggled with the issue of "mystical" answers that people blanket (me included)...some are true...but the source of that truth is unclear.
For example...many say "He won't give me more than I can handle"...I argue, yes He will...but, He isn't going to allow us to walk through something He can't handle. We don't have the ability to handle most things....we try...but in the end we fail. Instead of giving people the Biblical reason for something we give them a "mystical" one that sounds good...but is not fully grounded in the Word. This is why knowing scripture is so important. I want to have it so ingrained in me that it just overflows into my speech..I want to not have to go....Oh, I know that scripture is around here somewhere....I want to know it, love it, live it.
So, this week....the ones praying for me...pray that my eye sight will be fully restored and that this heart and mind will store scripture well....I have to pray for this, b/c I feel like I have the worst short term memory! I believe prayer works...I believe that knowing Jesus starts with knowing His word. I want to know it deeper....I want to live it...
I will probably elaborate on this latter...
Have a beautiful week!
