Gluttony


I have been missing for three days. I kept busy as an excuse as to why I was not here but I knew that was NOT the answer. I know that praying and  talking to God was the only thing that would really help. I am like an addict. When I find something that I enjoy I have to go over board and 'have it all'. I decided to do my Bible Blog and started running like a chicken with it's head cut off.

First I had to visit everyone's blog and see what they were doing. I wanted to do it too! All of it! I am a glutton. Suzy had this, Betty had that, Karen was doing something else entirely... and me? I started signing up for all of it. Enough to make your head hurt.

I can't be Suzy, Betty and Karen. I really do not want to. I just wanted a nice blog that people would visit. God showed me that Suzy did what she enjoyed and that is what made her blog special. Betty did her own thing that fit her personality. And made her page hers. You know what? Karen was a smart cookie too and knew what worked for her... 

I need to stop being a glutton and find what works for me. 

Proverbs 23:1-3
1) When you sit to dine with a ruler,
    note well what[a] is before you,
2) and put a knife to your throat
    if you are given to gluttony.
3) Do not crave his delicacies,
    for that food is deceptive.

I think I know what it is... but I will double check with God to see if he agrees this time :-) I love to write... but never know what to write. I have so much inside of me. What I THINK I am looking for is a different Meme for everyday. I am not sure I even have the word right. Like everyday someone assigns a word and you write about it?

Do I have the word correctly? Do you know of any good ones? I want them to be Christian. That would be so cool beans!!

With that said I am  not going to give up One Word 365 or 100 days of Joy as they really give me something to talk to God about! As if we needed more subjects :-) I can keep him busy 365!!

On  another note I received my Jesus Calling by Sarah Young book in the mail yesterday. It is soooooo hard to put down.  I was just going to read it one day at a time but I am finding that I am a glutton for that book. Now THIS is a good thing. I am going to read it straight through and every morning read the days devotion. I am learning so much from the one book!

Obedience
 
Deuteronomy 8:5-7
5) Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
6) Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him.
7) For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;

That sounds like a place I want to be. Glorious!!

  1. I understand your feelings about checking out everyone's blog to see what they are doing. It's easy to get caught up in that - I've done it, too. I've come to realize that what I love about the blogs I love to read is the fact that the writers are just being themselves. So, that's the best way to be - be the YOU that God created you to be! You can't go wrong with that.
