Don’t Try This Alone

I made bad decisions today. I wasted time. I ate what I shouldn’t. I responded emotionally where I should have reacted responsibly.

I get home to a small gift hanging on my door. Nothing I couldn’t t buy for myself. Just an ornament and with it a note reminding me of my goal. Reminding me why I can’t give up. Reminding me why my life matters.

And I wake up. It’s late but I’m not tired anymore. I take action and accomplish important tasks that just moments before I was content to leave undone.

Hours later I collapse in bed, glad that today didn’t beat me. Glad that when I grow tired or let myself be distracted, I’ve got fellow warriors to remind me of my goal.

Life is far too difficult to be lived alone.

    You continue to be in the prayers of many people that you do no even know! (–though I met you at your Mom’s service). God has put you and your siblings on our hearts. I am interceding on your behalf to our heavenly Father. Your posts remind me to do it, and help me know how to pray. Sending love and prayers from San Marcos!
