Well yesterday I died pretty well to myself and spent the time with God I needed. It was a wonderful morning. As my day wore on, however, and especially when my son got home, my staying on task didn't go too well. Obviously, indicated by the time this is being written, I'm not doing so well tonight.
Part of that is due to cause and effect. I didn't get done what I needed to earlier so it caused me to have to stay up later. Unfortunately, a lot of times our decisions don't just effect one thing, one area, or one person. Usually it is multi-faceted. Yeah, I wonder how good I am going to be at helping my son get ready for school in the morning. 7:30 comes real early when it's already almost 3:00. But from the words of one of my friends, "Dust yourself off and try again." (that's actually lyrics from a song).
We need to set goals so that we have something we're working towards, but we also need to be able to run to Abba Father when we fail. We need to confess our wrongdoings, ask Him to forgive us and help us to do better next time. Then trust that He will.
