While I Was Gone

For some reason or another I didn’t write a word for almost ten months. I was talking with a lifelong friend last evening and I told her about my writings and even read some to her. She had no idea that I have been writing for most of my life and with her sincere encouragement I am going to try to begin my writing again.

While I was gone my daughter had a baby, I changed jobs, a friend moved away and I rekindled a relationship with the very friend who encouraged me to write again. As I have said before “nothing remains the same except change”

I have been up and down with my relationship with God. He hasn’t gone anywhere but I have neglected my Bible study. I have prayed sporadically, yet I have had God on my mind every day. I know that I have let him down again. What a patient God we have. I have been diligent in studying so many times and then I miss a couple of mornings and I am off track again. It seems after so many years it would be such a wonderful habit that I wouldn’t stop and start.

While I was gone God blessed me in so many
ways. I have thanked him over and over again but I haven’t honored him by reading his Word. It aggravates me that I can spend an hour and a half watching Dancing With The Stars and I can’t take thirty minutes on a Bible study.

I am pledging once again to read, study and pray. I wouldn’t blame God if he wouldn’t take me back as a student again. Thankfully, he is a loving and forgiving God.

While I was gone I didn’t forget God or my writing, I just took a detour. I am headed back on the right road again.

Sincerely,
Sandy
