Well last night I was thinking of one word, "follow through". Okay, maybe two words. I have been told that I do not follow through well..... At first, I was insulted but then I started analyzing. {Me!!! Analyze!!! No!!!!}
I should have replied :)
And finally facing the truth that I suck at "follow through" when it comes to life. I will start something whether it be a change in diet, excercise, daily thankfulness, or some other self-help remedy and I always quit somewhere along the way. It is never a life changing alteration. Why?? {Are you thinking, "Me too!!"}
Many have heard this but I just think its hilarious and so me!!!!

So then it went from, "I have an objective, to I need plan." I am on a mission to change my daily thinking to positve, optimistic thoughts so that I may manifest positive relationships and rewarding events into my life. I am sharing because I believe we should receive encouragement and positive reaffirmation daily from family and friends to stay on track. Otherwise, I will be laying in bed for the rest of my life thinking about my "To Do List" and follow through.
Then my mind was lead to the scripture I wrote in my kitchen {years ago} but was reminded of it by Jax who made me a beautiful craft with it in Sunday School.......
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and sefl-control.
Galatians 5:22
I pondered on this verse for a couple days. All these are suppose to be in my heart, all the time. Impossible, I say!!!
Life gets busy and I have found myself in a place needing inspiration hence, my reasoning for no "follow through". Whether, theses changes are coming from hormones, sleeplessness and/or all of the-in-between called "life"....I don't know but this is my trip back home, to a place where my "follow through" has a happy ending.
As I read all these words that are "suppose" to be in my heart. I can't help but think that I am none of them. I know that I have many great qualities like the "fruits of the spirit" however, I have some fruits that aren't quit ripe yet and some that need to be thrown away. All I can say is, I am thankful for seasons, so pruning can take place.
