How Do You Spell Idolater? C-A-R-O-L

Hello everyone, long time no bloggy.

I haven't posted in awhile and for very good reason - because I've been idolatrous! I have put the Lord on the back burner and pursued my own interests. I have been consumed with a business endeavor online and have had no time, or should I say made no time, for anything else. I've neglected my bible studies, my devotional times, and my regular bible readings. My prayers were limited to thanking Him at meals - that's it. How pathetic!

So I am making this public profession because the Lord has opened my eyes to these things recently and I wanted to humbly share this with anyone who reads this. It is my wish that no one stray from the Lord as I did.

This is the fourth time that I have strayed and gone my own stupid way and each time, the Lord has lead me back to Him. I am not out of the woods yet. In fact I still feel the pull of the flesh to pursue my own desires and so right now, I am at war with myself. But I know that Jesus is all that matters and that my relationship with Him must be repaired. My love for Him must be strengthened and my spirit must be renewed. So these are the things I am striving for among other things. I hate this feeling of being 'disconnected' from Him. I feel so far away from Him right now and this is my own doing. Perhaps I'll go into greater detail at a later date - things are still playing out right now.

So starting now, I'll be spending time with Him daily. I might not post regularly right away because I'll be using this time the repair the damage I did to my spirit and my relationship with Him.

May the Lord richly bless all of you and keep you firmly in His grip.
