#GettingPastMe Day 59-68 [“With each post, I commit to being REAL about my struggle, and to also be REJOICING about the victories along the way. And through it all, I hope to encourage YOU, as you live out YOUR personal journey.”] – That was a portion of what I wrote in my very first “Getting Past Me” post, explaining the journey, and committing to being REAL. Now is the time to do just that: to be real, honest, and more open than ever before. I have been battling physical sickness since my last post. And unfortunately, instead of filling up on the Word during the battle, I gave in to the sickness, and spent the entire recovery time either sleeping or finding something else to entertain my mind. Now that I am well, God gave me back the grade from that test. The test was in accordance with Proverbs 4:20-22, which says: Pay attention - listen closely to My Words. For they are LIFE to those who find them, and HEALTH to ones whole body. I was missing out on LIFE and HEALTH, because I was missing out on HIM and HIS WORDS. NEVER again. It took longer to recover from this sickness than normal. I realize now that I AM part of the reason why it took so long. God was looking for my FIGHT, my PASSION, and my FAITH to rise up and conquer. Instead, I caved and gave into the sickness. NEVER again. By not taking the power He has given me to fight, it was as if I had spit in His face. NEVER again, God. I need YOU. Thank You for setting me straight. I am beyond grateful for His grace and forgiveness when I stumble and fall! How privileged we are to have a Father who picks us up when we fall, dusts us off, and leads us on again, hand-in-hand. And so the journey continues... #GettingPastMe
