"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established." Proverbs 16:3
Lately I find myself frustrated---with ME! And it's not in a bad way where I feel like a loser or a disaster, but rather where I feel ready to be done with some bad habits---those areas where my patterns of thought and action are destructive to my relationships.
I am ready to change.
As the saying goes: This is where the rubber meets the road.
And things get challenging.
Right now I am stuck on that stretch of road between "head-knowledge" and "heart-knowledge". I have a head full of great communication skills, life-living skills, and problem-solving skills. Putting these into action has everything to do with what I "know" and nothing to do with what comes naturally to me.
It's simply applying steps A, B and C to situation because I KNOW it's what is best, and then backing up to see what happens.
So far what has happened has been good. And I am journaling those little successes so that I remember that I am making progress.
I have a friend who likes to remind me not to despise small beginnings. Change takes time. And often it's in the looking back that we see how far we have come
What about you? Are there areas where you feel like you are driving blind? Walking by faith rather than sight?
