I loved when you mentioned taking inventory on a regular basis to see where your head and heart are. I do that often...those heart checks. And I think God is taking me through one of those heart checks now and teaching me to be okay with whatever the numbers are. It's a process. And yes, I want to always stay true to what He has called me to do and say. I am so grateful for you.

I find myself being irritable with my Beloved waaaayyy more than I would like to admit. And stress and selfishness both sound like the culprits-- I am selfish with my time because I am still learning how to share (or give all?) my time to my daughter and stress because, well, I am a Mama and have quite a few things on my plate. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this truth over at #EverydayJesus. Definitely gives me something to ponder this weekend.

Stress and selfishness...hmmm...you are not ...Beth,<br />Stress and selfishness...hmmm...you are not alone. We all battle with these two culprits. I love, however, that you take an honest look at yourself and acknowledge why you do what you do. It is so easy to let ourselves get sucked into what is self-seeking vs. what is God-seeking. First comes God...then comes blogging and everything else. I'll hold you accountable if you will hold me accountable?? <br />With much love and ((hugs)),<br />BevBev Rihtarchik - Walking Well With Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225613427007199391noreply@blogger.com
