Day 22 - Pledge of Peace

With this journey I have come to see that I put myself last.  I focus so much on my hubby and daughter (especially her).  But, listening to Chip Ingram the other day I had to stop and ask God "had I made them idols in my life?"  I didn't hear an answer, but everything inside of me shouted YES.  I truly see how this happened and I now see even more so why He placed this 31 day journey upon my heart.  He needed to FREE me from this behavior!

I LOVE my daughter (she's a blessing) and I love my husband, but not only did I put them above me I placed them above God. Whoa!  What a revelation!  I listened to my heart and it gave me a guideline.  It said the line of priority should be God, Me, and then My family.  I'm truly getting this and I never want God to feel as if He comes last in my life.  I surrender to Him daily, because I know my way was indeed the wrong way.

Today's Intention: I intend to re-organize my home (nephew has left and I wish to re-energize our living space)

Today's Kind Act: The gift of taking it slow.  And I'll buy myself a pack of awesome ink pens (been collecting since I was 11)

    Tabitha,
    I stop and think every time I read your blog. You write about things I have been pondering and you give me a different perspective on things. I do appreciate all you do. You and your family are in my prayers. Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

    Tabitha,

    I noticed this in my morning prayer to God and handed over everything to Him. I dedicated and committed everything I own to Him.

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

    I wish I could remember what I wrote yesterday. There must have been a glitch in blogger because it never showed up. {sigh} Oh well, I'm sure it was good.

    Good for you to recognize the things that you need to work on and to change. Many people need to follow your example.
