I'm not doing too bad so far this year! After around six months of struggling increasingly in my relationship with God, knowing some of the things I needed to do (and really trying to do them) but only seeming to get worse, lacking motivation and energy I am, by God's grace walking out of the other side.
I spent a fair amount of time praying over the holidays and I feel like God is lifting whatever was weighing me down. I've managed to go a good amount of exercise (physical training is of some benefit!) but more important re-established and built new habits of prayer and bible reading. I'm trying to get my priorities right and I'm actually getting way more done and still having some free time! Bible reading and dwelling on what I read is so vital, it literally is my food and with a lack of it I get ill!
As I progress in my life as a Christian I have seen that these seasons can come and all we can do is cling to Jesus, knowing he can carry us to the other side. I am so graterful to Jesus that he allows me these times and walks with me through them, increasingly revealing more of the father to me. Sanctification is hard but it is worth it.
1 Timothy 4:8
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
