I am feeling like Forrest Gump these days. You know when he says "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is". He knew how to love, to show love. He was a simple guy, not requiring a lot of attention. I need something to snap me into the loving everyone thing. I just desire to live a life of love. I want to stop getting frustrated, impatient and judgemental and see everyone as equal. I want to be able to offer hope to my neighbor. I can state that I doubt most people see God through me when I am getting in one of my moods. My desire is to make conscious decisions with my attitude. I swear the other night I kept hearing a voice tell me "Choose to love" while I was about to get impatient. I love when I hear that. It was a great reminder.
I am rereading the book of James and maybe I will start blogging about that because that book is full of powerful words for my soul!!
Good to see you back, Amy. Journal writing can be so cathartic. Keep it going.
ReplyDeleteI started studying James in the winter, kindof let it fall to the wayside. You've inspired me to get back on it!
