Have you ever found yourself on a slipper slope? I know the picture above is a bit scary. I am talking about another slope. You know the kind, it starts small just a little thing and then it becomes bigger. It could be a sin or a procrastination. I feel like the last few months I have been on one myself. You see I have found myself slacking on my writing and on my weight lifting some. It started simply enough to many things going on, so I had to choose what to give my focus to. Then I realized I was not truly focusing on anything. Well, not entirely true just not focusing on what I considered the important things.
Now, I have had to stop myself and I did from sliding back into a path of negativity. I could have beat myself up and said you fool, you have come so far why would you stop? Thankfully, that is not what I did.
I prayed, I asked God to help me get back on track. I felt he told me to be truly honest, how far off track am I? I am still eating well 80% of the time. I am still going to my Aerial Silk class. I am walking daily and still able to play with the grandkids. I am taking care of my Mom well, and still active at church. So what is it that I am missing? He reminded me to look back, now listen carefully hear look back not stay there. I needed to assess what I was doing differently.
Time to get thinking about , the things I had let slide. I was not reading my Bible or journaling I had stopped listening to the daily lives(1st Phorm), to my success podcasts. Now, you may not need this things, but I do.
I knew what I needed to do, to regain my footing. I grabbed my Bible, a good book and my journal. I started listening to faith building, success lessons again. I am envisioning in my mind and spirit exactly who it is I want to be, the things I wish to accomplish. I know that the biggest battle I have to overcome is the one in my own mind. I am getting back on track, I did not flatten all four of my tires because of one. I am airing that low tire up and giving it new air.
I know in the deepest part of my heart, that I can do it. God gave me instruction and I have not been giving it my best effort. I am praying today I stay at the top of the slope and stand on the Rock where I will not fall. I will trust that I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me. I pray this for all of you as well.
