The One Thing

You would think that after living a whole lot of years that I would get some things so imbedded in me that I would never have to relearn them.  I guess not.  I just came out of a particularly busy season to NOTHING! Does that ever happen to you? Run, run, run, busy, busy, busy…then nothing! I’m not going to lie, the break has been wonderful! But it left me a little off-balance.  You know, kind of looking around wondering, now what?

While in this particularly busy season, I abandoned the one thing that keeps me centered.    The Word.

I was reading lots of devotionals, inspirational ditties, even books about The Word.  But I wasn’t reading The Word. and I came up short, off balance, lacking, needy.

Exciting activities  full of goodness, life, my very favorite things and people are not enough. I was created to have communion and fellowship with my creator, and there is NOTHING that can fill that space created for Him and Him alone!

I know that things will get crazy busy again, very soon. But I will stay in The Word! Without it I will come up short. And so will you. Hebrews 4:12 say that
“the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

I need my soul and spirit to be divided, I long for the thoughts and attitudes of my heart to be judged!

I am so grateful for a Savior that not only saved me but gives me His Living Word to sustain me!

Commit with me in this busiest of seasons, to not abandon The Word. Even to really good things.

    OMG Kaye,
    I have been so convicted recently about the same thing. Not in a shameful way, my HolySpirit has gently nudged me, telling me this would balance my chaotic work life. I tell myself I can’t possibly fit it one more thing in my 10-12 hour work day but truth be known it would add peace,stability and balance.
    Thank you friend for this reminder.
    Love you and miss you.
    Dee

Welcome!

Hi I’m Kaye, and I’m glad you stopped in! I am married to my high school sweetheart and still happy to say I’m still crazy about him. He is my best friend, favorite traveling partner, favorite Netflix binger, favorite in almost all things, except shopping, that’s where we part ways! We make our home in North Texas smack dab in the middle of our three children and nine grandchildren! I love connecting and live for slow, long walks on the beach, lingering long around the table with family and friends or planning my next adventure! I hope during your visit here you’ll be encouraged to live the life you were created to live, believing that ALL of the good things are meant for you!
