Now if only I could remember what you wrote when I see that shiney new Lexus next door...sigh. I think the secret, part two, is to ask the Lord to keep my focus where He wants it, because I can't seem to do that on my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767888.post-59564768415609257732007-05-26T00:50:00.000-04:002007-05-26T00:50:00.000-04:00It's way late and I should be in bed, but I wanted...It's way late and I should be in bed, but I wanted to comment on this topic. (so ignore me if I ramble and don't make sense, LOL)<BR/><BR/>I did the Beth Moore Bible study on Breaking Free of the bondage of sin. It was so freeing. I never realized how I'd let satan take hold of my life over past hurts and disappointments. I was giving him free reign and in the process I wasn't living my present life to it's fullest. <BR/><BR/>I realized that when I'm constantly thinking about the what ifs and all the maybes I'm missing the joy of today. I'm stuck in discontent. <BR/><BR/>By nature I'm a big daydreamer (as are most writers) so it was nothing for me to just daydream my way to work each day or to the grocery store, so I decided to put a worship CD in and let it run over and over. I never turn it off. It keeps me focused and when you're singing along you can't really think of anything else.<BR/><BR/>I know this isn't exacty what you were saying but I think we're kind of on the same page. ;) <BR/><BR/>Now I'm off to sleep.Sabrina L.
