It's been a while since I've actually written my thoughts down. I've been on a long journey- a road trip of sorts. I've thought about what I've wanted to say several times. It's as though every thought has been drowning in my mind.
I coursed on an actual road trip to visit our oldest niece and before I ventured out on that trip I stocked up. I loaded myself down with junk food. Why? Because my mind told me it was necessary for this trip. Although I tackled food that I wouldn't normally eat, it's what I assumed would comfort me at the time.
As I drove that highway I couldn't help but compare it to how I've lived my days for the last couple of months. As I said my days have been heading down a lonely road. Preoccupied with a meaningless consumption of negativity. I've packed my days and nights with junk. I bought this junk - I've basically decided everyday to buy into what this world has offered. Just like a convenient store...it's been just that...what has been convenient.
How many times have we all just done what was convenient? Packing our hearts and minds not with His Truth but with loaded down energy zappers. What will only give us satisfaction for the moment instead of eternity. We all certainly pay a price for what we decide to carry. Our guilt overtakes and conviction becomes the ache that twists your insides into a over cooked pretzel.
Today it's time to avoid the junk that conveniently awaits us. We must decide to turn to the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and take a road trip with a Companion who does not complain about the bumps in the road.
