It is incredibly hard to do what you are supposed to do at times. Everyone needs accountability, but we all like to dodge it; if at all possible in our flesh nature. Our spirit nature cries, "Don't leave me to myself." This is because, we know ourselves better than anyone else. We know we are failures, but Jesus. We know we are lazy, but Jesus. We know _________, but Jesus. I am so overwhelmed by who He is, and why He even bothers.
I am the kind of girl that would say, "Hey God, cut your losses now and start over." God, He says, "My mercies are new every morning." Well, today I needed those mercies. I did not want to get up. I mean, period. I am exhausted. My body hurts in places I did not know I had. I tossed, turned and dreamed all night long. Why? I don't know. But today, I feel lousy. But, I know people count on me. I know God does not like it when people do not keep their word. This Blog, is a small part of my daily devotions. A small part of my time with my Daddy God. I know me. If I don't start my day with Him, I am not going to be the best version of me. I gonna be "Job-ing" around. I don't want that. You don't deserve that. God would not be pleased with that. So, here we are. Now what? Ever feel that way?

So, what do you do? What's next? Eat breakfast. That's what's next. See, I am a social eater. By myself I would starve. I forget to eat. I could care less about eating. Put with friends, family and especially my lil men around me and I am like, "What we eating?" I could have just finished a meal, but Baby I am thinking about what we are going to do next, and yep, it is going to include food. I will go all out on a cooking binge. Once, I am alone--PS I do not eat leftovers! Just saying.
Who knows what this is a picture of? I sure can't tell. But, hey it said what I was wanting to say, so I used it.
I like to eat with people. Perhaps, it is my Italian heritage. Perhaps, it is because I had four siblings. No one ever got the pleasure of eating alone--if that's what some people consider a pleasure? Nope, not me I wanna see elbows flying! Let's see who can get to the sauce first and by the way pass the parmigiano! And, for the record--I always want to order desert!
ACTION STEP: So, today I get up. Today, I eat breakfast. Today, I spend my time with God. Today, I imagine you reading this. Today, I imagine you saying, "Yeah, I feel like that, sometimes. I didn't know other people felt that way too? There is nothing wrong with me. People are not supposed to live isolated. It is okay to be me. I am going to do my thing. Tomorrow, will be a better day." God is soooooo merciful. I truly believes He gets excited when His kids, just do what's right! Just love Him. Just spend some time with Him. Be the best version of you. Oh, and yesterday I forgot to mail in my Marriage and Love article due to Jubilee Magazine. So, say a prayer for me. Oh, and by the way, my baby girl is due to have her first (belly baby) any day. I am "that" Mom.
