Keep the Change reflections
Part one's reading is from Psalm 1:16. "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree palnted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."
To me, this passage means that if you choose to live life against god, you will keep falling flat on your face. It also tells me that if you live life with god, you will see yourself almost about to fall, and lift yourself up before you do.
It applies to me, because i have not held my life or my marriage in accordance with god's wishes. I have chose to live my life in sin and not realizing that it was that which caused me to fall on my face in life and in my marriage.
My challange/oppurtinities that await me today, is that i now know what i have to do to help fix me. I realize that my call for help has been answered by the lord and that he is calling to me in many different ways that i have been blind to. I will respond to those calls by contiuing to grow in his image and better myself. I will also continue to show sarah that my strength in fixing myself, will prove to be a better husband and a better father.
My focus today will be the same it will be for the past week. Take one day at a time, when i do get angry, use the tools given to me to calm down, and think before i act or say. i will continue to be vigilant in this. I will continue to pray and ask for forgiveness from god and sarah. I know this is not going to be easy, but fixing me is important, and fixing my marriage is equally important.
I am trusting god for guidance and support. He has already brought me a very good support group and given me the tools for success. I need to use those tools daily and think more and more about what i need to do for me.
