Slow to keep up

OK, so I am not the best at blogging consistently. Maybe that will get better but for now, my infrequent postings will have to do. It seems that days just go by in a blur and I am trying to keep up. A question popped in my head today that startled me...may have come from the examination that tends to take place after attending a marriage conference. But not seemingly directly related, in a way it is. The question is how would people describe me? Since I can't answer that question, I asked how would I describe me? The first thoughts were exhausted and hurried. Yikes...I didn't like that at all. I would prefer content and joyful. I am still examining how to get there but it has given me something to ponder. I want contentment in all circumstances and joy to radiate in all directions. Even on those hurried days when I am exhausted and things are just out of sorts.

The only way I will ever achieve it is through God. I must take the first step and pray. Not a prayer of woes and complants but one of praise, thanksgiving, and asking for God to do his will. Oh--I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, joyfully keeping up!

A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (ESV)
