Another Day...Another Habit!!!

As I sit here typing, I am again reminded of how God's presence is always around me no matter what I am doing. It doesn't matter what kind of day I am having-or not having, He is always right there with me. God doesn't care if my socks match my outfit for the day...He isn't concerned if the dishes are done as soon as we use them...He isn't bothered if the laundry pile is growing for a couple days... The things that concern God are much more important! Have I talked with Him today? Have I meditated on His Word? Have I lived my life for Him today to the best of my ability? And have I told those that I meet about Him? Now, I know that it seems hard to do some of these things every day, but in order to live a full life, we need to practice doing things every day. Someone once told me that if you do something every day for 30 days it becomes a habit! That is good advice! I guess that doesn't include thinking about doing something! Habits can be a hard thing to break too! I speak from experience! I have some things in my past that are not the nicest things to remember, but in order to deal with them, I need to. Since I moved to this new city, I have bisically put my recovery on hold. This is not a good thing. I'm starting to see things surfacing now that I need to take action on before I get in trouble. It is hard starting over, finding new groups of people to hang with and get to know! But just like with anything else, God always walks beside me and knows everything I do before I do it. He was right beside me when I was going through all of the storms in my life and He never left me, so I know He is with me now, helping me as I go through the better times! Things will be okay as long as I continue to rely on God and continue to run to Him and rest in His arms when I need to!
