Distractions Abound!

Luke 12: 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?


So last week there were plenty of distractions that kept me from my blog. I guess the biggest side track was that mom and dads computer didn't work and we weren't at my brothers where I could write my blog. But that shouldn't have stopped me from continuing with the advent study. I did it for the first couple of days but as more family showed up I got more and more distracted.

I guess the important thing is that I am returning with new focus and eager to start a new bible study. I am borrowing a book from my grandmother that I think will be interesting to read. "Really Bad Girls of the Bible". Since I worry about so many thing and worry about my past bad girl ways I thought the passage from Luke appropriate. No matter what you have been through God can use what you have to make you a story of His neverending grace and love.

Thank you God for sending reminders that even though we may have faltered in the past that You are always the constant that brings us back to our focus of You and Your words! Thank you for the great week we had last week, to share the birth of Your Son for us. I so needed the time spent with my family and loved every minute of it. It was so filled with peace-when I felt that something wasn't going right I prayed and you soothed my tongue. So that I wouldn't start something to cause a disagreement. Thank You God for loving me even when I worry and even when I get distracted from Your word! Amen.
