Questions

How is it I can go to church, feel so convicted and then drive away and start leting things bother me? Today we talked about how a person that reads God's word and then does not do what it says is like a person that looks in a mirror and then walks away and forgets what they look like. So often, I feel like I forgot what I look like. It seems like the kids know the exact moment to start fighting or exact moment that a shrill scream will send chills up my spine. My wife knows the exact perfect thing to say or do to annoy me. Do I think they do it on purpose. No, not at all. Do I think the timing is due to my own weakness and the enemy trying to make sure that I don't keep walking on the path that God wants me on? Life is a struggle. Occasionally it seems like more than I can handle; although I know that "through God, I can do all things that strengthen me" and that He will never give me more than I can handle. Like at this very moment I would like some quiet contemplative time but I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old struggling to get my attention. Guess I will take the time and praise God that I have beautiful, healthy children and give them the time they need.
