This is It!

I'm sitting in my office looking at asset provider statements, listening to Israel & New Breed (thanks for the CD! ;p) when my co-worker comes and says, "You wanna hear something crazy?" So, of course I say, yes. He always has some wacky, crazy story to tell me early in the AM. His response was scarier than any story that he's ever told me. He said,

"It's almost August."

OMG! Are you kidding me?

Where did this year go?? And what did I do with it? This is the year of new beginnings. What do I have to show for it? What new beginnings have arisen in my life? We are over the half way mark in 2008. In a little over 4 months, this year will be over with. Done. Complete. Finished. Gone. Forever.

I'm not where I'm supposed to be. I've been lolly gagging, kicking my feet, playing around. I can't do it ANOTHER DAY. I declare and decree that today is the LAST DAY that I don't live this life on purpose. Today is the LAST DAY that I don't wake up and seek God's face and realize that my life really does depend on Him.

This is a serious matter. God has a bounty of blessings for me. But I have to tap into Him. I have to seek Him. I have to ask. I have to live right. And I don't mean by not having sex, no drinking, smoking, cursing... I already have that down. But my prayer life and my relationship with Him have to be better. I need to get rid of the distractions in my life that stop me from meditating on the Word. Don't just read it. Meditate on it. Study it until it becomes real to me.

I'm going to get my new beginning and all that in entails. I don't want just a piece of it. I've noticed bits and pieces. My relationships have shifted and transitioned. And I truly believe that it is all God. Work on me Lord. Work on me so that I can be used to bless others around me.

Declaration. This is it.
