I had an epiphany last night. Just listening to my husband talking to me. He has a sweet spirit and sometimes he'll say something that just opens a door for me.
I realized that for that last couple of months I've been listening to the enemy and having a pity party for myself. My positive attitude went into hiding. The more I wanted contact with others the more I seemed to run people off. (Not intentionally mind you.)
And then I realized that I've been having that pity party ALL year! Instead of seeing all the positive things that have happened, I focused on the bad. Somehow I tricked myself into thinking I was moving forward but I really wasn't.
See, when you keep your focus inward (selfish) you essentially close yourself off. You can't give anything good, nor can you get anything good. It puts you in a warp shell. :) Last night my warp shell collapsed. And I think I might get back to normal. A better normal of course. :)
I'm so looking forward to see what God has in store for me and my family in the next year.
So, my husband asked me a good question last night. I want to share his thoughts with you and let you reap from it as well. (I still learn so much from my hubby, a very intelligent man.)
His question to me was: What are your two biggest praises for 2009. And what are your two top weaknesses that you need prayers for.
If you'd like to share here, I'd be happy to pray for you. If not, just leave a little comment and I"ll pray a general prayer for you.
Here's to a wonderful and God-filled 2010!
