Well goooooooooood evening my magnificent minions far and wide, high and low, north and south, and east and west.........Sitting here in my big comfy recliner, and being ponderous... So...... If I am anything to you all, I want to be completely, and utterly Honest, and if it means putting something out there about myself that just might help someone else, then by all means, I am going to do it. Being REAL with people, letting people know that its OK to be REAL... to share in our growing, thereby lifting up and edifying each other.... Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. -Paul to the Galatians chapter 6, verse 2. Anywho.... let me get to the point... and tonights point and lesson, is on LAZINESS. lol....... yup... Im going there. You see... laziness keeps us from being who God made us to be... laziness stunts our growth... and laziness in my case at least, stems from a lie that was believed. And who does that lie come from? BINGO!!! Straight from lucys lips!! he is the father of lies!! At SOME point in my life, I believed the lie that its OK to dumb myself down. Its OK to hide behind a mask of stupidity so that people would EXPECT LESS of me.. I dumbed myself down, so that nothing of good caliber was expected of me, thereby I THOUGHT protecting myself from disappointment, failure, ridicule, etc.... being lazy has no doubt caused me to circle mountains that God would have had me MOVE. But like the loving Father He is... He allowed me to learn things the hard way... MY way. You CAN break this pattern...but you have to CHOOSE to PURPOSE in doing so. I certainly have not arrived as of yet, BUT....Being confident of this, that He Who began a good work in me WILL carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus!! Philippians 1:6 (Emphasis Added), I will press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.!! (Philippians 3:12) I have been MORE than Blessed to have Strong Men and Women of God in my life, that keep me Accountable... that call me Out, and Upward to the Woman of God that I am meant to be. Though Ultimately I Trust in, Cling to, and Rely on Jesus in EVERYTHING... I am submitted to, and receive correction and edification from my Church Leadership.. Words can not express just how Blessed and Grateful I am toward You All! Thank You so much Bob Burket, and Ivan E Tina Wheeler!
