Discipline......a battle I have yet to overcome. I want and try to be disciplined...but somehow I never quite get there. Everything from being an early riser, to eating healthy (and less), to exercising every day, to never missing my time with the Lord, to cooking every night, to spending as much quality time with my family as possible, to keeping the house clean and laundry caught up. The list goes on and on.
Every night before I go to sleep I tell myself that I am going to do better tomorrow. I have such well laid plans in my head. But then somehow by mid-morning I am off track.....unless I have had my regular coca-cola fix....which then takes me til about lunch. Then I spend the rest of the day upset at myself for not following through with all I promised. By bedtime, I begin the cycle all over again. I don't know if anyone else out there goes through this, but I am tired of the cycle. (even more tired of my excuses) I know I cannot do this on my own. Without help from the Lord, I am hopeless. But, I also need accountability and prayer.
I decided to do my night time ritual a little different tonight. Instead of making empty promises to myself, I am making a commitment before the Lord and all of you who read our blog. My commitment is to become more disciplined in the areas God has convicted me, in order to be the very best I can be for Him.
I will keep you updated as I strive to break free from this stronghold. Please pray that I focus on Him and all He has for me. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God has called me through Christ Jesus! The Battle Belongs to the Lord!!
