Confession #2 - That's MY Pew


Hey, that's my spot, now move! Actually, it's not. It's not my spot at all.
I recently found myself aggravated and moved from my comfort zone (aka my pew in church). I LET it hinder my worship, I literally sulked over this. It bothered me to see someone sitting in the place where I normally sit - like they did it on purpose...like they just KNEW that is my "normal" spot to sit. I've always lived by the idea that "who cares who sits there, it's not my seat."  I think I have attached more ownership to it than I care to admit and that's scary! This is just a dumb thing to get all harebrained and worked up over!  For whatever reason, sometimes God has to "move" us out of our comfort zone so we can see Him or hear from Him. Had I been all comfy in my pew, I may not have been in tune with Him that morning. During this time that He had me moved from one place to another (same pew, but down about 8 seats - - arghhh!!!) He spoke to me. He actually answered a question I've been having, a question I've brought to Him in prayer with regards to a job and what direction to take. He basically told me "massage is not the profession you are led to, it's only for part time" WOW! Really? Okay, so now what?  Then I asked Him, "then why did you allow me excel and succeed at it, IF I'm not supposed to do this?"  I am still waiting on the other part of this answer to prayer, but for now, He has at least given me direction from the avenue of massage, by "partly" answering my request. Sometimes it's nice to be moved.  

True story! 

P.S. - I shall purposefully start looking for a different spot to sit each Sunday... I think.

Confession #1 - Prayerlessness


Is your faith suffering in any areas? Are there areas of your walk with God that you seriously need to work on?

Mine is. Unfortunately this little thing we call "life" gets in the way - ALL the time. At times I feel like my world is spinning out of control and into a chaotic disaster where I don't know left from right. Then at some point I finally realize, hey, I haven't prayed in a while.... this is where satan gets a foothold on me. He has me out of fellowship with God and living a life of turmoil where I've put God in my pocket and "forgotten" about a Him. In a life I am to be gratefully celebrating because God allows me to live - I forget about Him.
Life truly is a gift and we shouldn't for a moment "forget" who allows us to breathe daily. Talk to Him. Breathe Him in. Love Him.
