Do you have moments when life continues to move from day to day and you did not do that thing you committed to doing? That is me this week.
In October of 2024, I made the commitment to share pieces of my life. To share how everyday life coincides with my walk for Christ. How his word gives me the strength and the perseverance to pursue, endure, and persist in my gifts and talents. I sat several times this week to keep the Monday schedule- write a Blog!
Each time I sat to write there was nothing but a desire. The desire to write, the desire to keep the commitment, the desire to be the ideal person I am designed to be. All desire but no action.
In my quest to walk this journey of commitment and integrity, I was inspired by a time lapse video a friend of mine shared. It was the inspiration I needed to realize and see how quickly the world revolves, how quickly the days pass, and how quickly I can put commitments to the side.
To look at the sunrise in a 21 second video, taken over 30 minutes, is a wake up call for me to stay on task. As I write this quick post on Thursday, I find peace and give the anxiety to the Lord.
For His word says his yolk is easy. To be anxious for nothing… He sits at the door and knocks. All things work together for good… Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit…
These words are truly what I needed today. “When I said, “My foot is slipping”, your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.” When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:18-19
This is the peace I embrace when my foot is slipping and my commitment to do goes a bit off schedule.
So on this Thursday, it is a time lapse from a Monday just a few seconds ago. A sequence of life frames set at intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time.
This is the grace of my Lord and Savior. The one who know the beginning and the end and records with forgiveness the frames of my life. A God that patiently waits for me to change slowly over time. A Savior that announces~” Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Rev 3:20
I am that person.
Always grateful,
Walking In Your Gifts
