Sarah and I look forward to your updates; we're in your corner rooting you on and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteOne (very small) word of caution (and you know this- I'm just reaffirming it for you):
Remember that you're building an entirely new set of habits. You're almost completely starting from scratch not just behaviorally but also with your mindset, focus, attitude and everything that goes with it!
I'm not justifying your complacency- just trying to look at it more from a positive standpoint. Remember- by your own admission, until recently all you were was complacent!
The fact that you aren't now- that you're now taking an active role in your own upkeep and being the master of your household is an awesome thing! And it is no simple thing.
Would it help you to write down things like "I used to be like THIS" and "Now I am like THIS" and what the reason for that change is?
I'm even going to go out on a little bit of a limb here and encourage you with some Scripture.
"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Hey, Jeremiah!
DeleteSorry, it's taken me so long to reply. I actually missed this comment. Usually I get an email telling me when someone has commented on a post, but I didn't this time.
I think you're right. In throwing my shoulder against the wheel and rampaging forward, I am occasionally going to slip, fall and grind my knuckles on the yoke.
It took me thirty-six years to develop the habits I had. Blitzing through changing them in three months is going to have its backlashes. Definitely.
As I look to the better angels of my will and personality, there is still an old guard of embittered, displaced personal demons desperately trying to reassert themselves. I have made the mistake, many times, of assuming a goal achieved and an old habit defeated and gone, when really it's a constant process and my old habits aren't really "gone," just moved aside. It will take years for them to be truly *gone.* The moment I let my guard down, they kick-in the door and start wrecking the place all over again.
This past month, it's just been a lot of things at once. All of them really bad. All of them hitting me at the exact same time. I'm not ashamed to admit that I failed to keep my footing under those conditions. But, I have gotten back to my feet and I'm moving forward again.
Thank you both for keeping me in your prayers. I need all the help I can get and the more people appealing for my case to On-High, the better.
I hope that you guys are doing good. You're in my prayers as well.
