The REAL Thing
Willing Vessels,
So today's blog is a little different because for me it is a moment of transparency. Here recently i hadn't been feeling my best emotionally. I couldn't figure out what was going on, i felt like i was in a fog... and one day i was driving home from work... i felt like i was in a trance and I randomly said aloud " Something is missing!" It shocked me and woke me up for sure!
It hit me like a ton of bricks... What's missing is the truth! The truth was that i was tired... I was running,running, running; but not prioritizing time to sit still, seek God's face, recharge and reflect. I'd listen to my bible app on the way to work in the mornings, Read a quick scripture during my break, and listen to music or podcasts after work. From time to time i would spend a few minutes and read a scripture when i first woke up in the mornings. I prayed quickly either in the mornings after i woke up, on the way to work or for a good amount of time at work. However, when i got home, I didn't do either.
When i was off work i was either : on the phone, on social media, on my way to or with someone but never with Jesus. I knew it was what i needed, Holy Spirit kept it on my mind, but to be real my flesh just wasn't seeing it as a priority! I kept busy and gave God leftovers , so when i was trying to spend time with Him i had to be on the move because when i got still my body wanted to rest naturally but my spirit wanted rest,filling, and peace that only Jesus could give me .
To be 100% honest, i struggle with time management and consistency,
