Consistency Is Key

I just noticed that I have not written a post since July 1st, and here it is July 11th. OOPS - a little behind the proverbial eight ball! :-) I believe that I will be a better writer if I write a little bit every day (and a WHOLE LOT when preparing a book proposal! :->) No matter what you love to do, practicing each day at your craft will make you more proficient. Consistency. It is the key.

That same thought made me think of my life with Jesus. If I am consistently seeking Him and spending time with Him each day, I will feel closer to Him. Sound easy? It is not, but it is SO worth it! The last few months, I have felt absolutely unorganized and overwhelmed with work deadlines, long commutes, making sure my hubby and stepson are well-loved and taken care of. I am ashamed to say that the Lord has been down around fourth place, and that breaks my heart! I know it breaks His as well. Glynnis Whitwer's book "I Used To Be So Organized" has been invaluable to me because she talks at length about keeping God first in all things. No one can nurture my relationship with Him except for me, so it is my responsibility AND my privilege to sit at His feet and praise Him each day. Lord, how I love You!

Take baby steps toward Christ each day. He cannot wait to meet with you. Consistency. It is the key. You will be glad you did.
