But I have heard it said several times that because the enemy can't have us, he will keep us busy =( Over the past few years I have been learning to say no more often, even if I have time, just because that time is often spent on better things, like time with the Lord, time with my husband, my kids. I have been focusing on aligning God's priorities for me as my own. So far, it has made a huge difference! But there are still times when busy gets my best =( It is so disappointing.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141536734023598952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279660318055685789.post-27983668062017267502011-09-23T11:35:44.217-04:002011-09-23T11:35:44.217-04:00Unfortunately, it happens more than I like to admi...Unfortunately, it happens more than I like to admit! I live in a much better state when I stay in line, though! It's amazing how He makes that work ~ when we walk in His Spirit, we are filled with His Spirit; therefore we display His fruit. I know I am full of peace (as well as the rest of the fruit) when I am in tune with Him. Good reminder, Becky!!{amy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09363848196111335782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279660318055685789.post-88496342082712346732011-09-23T11:32:21.872-04:002011-09-23T11:32:21.872-04:00Becky,
Thank you for sharing this simple truth tod...Becky,<br />Thank you for sharing this simple truth today. I love your comparison of Christians to Kindergarteners. Only a mom would relate to that! Learning to stand, and stay, in line is a very basic but important thing to learn. Christians always seem to have "the wiggles" and a short attention span (including me!) That is why we must choose "today" whom we will serve. Today. And all the today's to come. Walking in the Spirit takes a concious effort.
