When I started this blog page it was with the intention of doing it every day. Boy what a dream that was. Several times I have started only to be interrupted or decided I would write another day. Of course the other day never came. Sometimes the same thing happens in my prayer life. My intentions are of the best, but something comes up or I am interrupted. The same can be said for every area in my life, my health, family life, work life and even my rest time. Hebrews 12:11 says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." Boy is there truth in that verse. A truth that applies to all areas of my life. I am a diabetic that wears an insulin pump. I know what I can and cannot or should not eat, but does that stop me, NO. I use the excuse that I am stressed and I need it. What a lame excuse!! Sometimes I get so busy I forget to eat on time and then I just grab something that is not good for me. The samething seems to happen in all areas of my life, unless I discipline and train myself, which is often diffiuclt. Of course most of the diffiuclty comes from my trying to do it by me, myself and I. That I always gets in the way, because I leave out my precious Lord when the I controls my life. So it is once again time to go back to the training board with a renewed committment to discipline and training. Wow, what a relief, I am not alone, I do not have to do it by myself..... Thank you Lord!O let my life resemble
more of you each day
Mold me with your Spirit
like the potter molds the clay.

I kept mine up daily for a year or so, but it is difficult. Mike struggles to keep up with his. Don't be too hard on yourself! Maybe you could post something once a week or so?
I sure enjoyed our time together on Wednesday. You bless me!
P.S. I keep meaning to tell you: every time I see the title of your blog, it brings that old Andre Crouch song based on the scripture into my head, "The Lord is my light and my salvation..." I love that song.
I am so glad I found this blog!!!! I think of you and Phil all the time, and want to visit with you if you are able and feeling up to it. I am blessed by reading your entries.
