Personal journaling through the Word: The focus

I am going to now focus on personal journaling and prayer as I read through the Scripture (Bible; Word of God; The Torah). This was always my goal but it is moving to this primarily as I try to live the Word and do what He says, and share the journey. 

Why is it

Why is it that we are so apt to realize we are not happy, peaceful, joyful, content, and fill in the blank, but we are so quick to avoid what we should be doing in order to rectify the problem? Why is it that we always want to live a life of purpose and/or meaning, but we are so quick to avoid what we should be doing in order to rectify the problem? Why is it that we choose our own way because we want to be independent and self-reliant and yet we are not living purposeful lives every moment? Why is it we choose noise over what really matters? (And the noise is: TV, games, reading a book, listening to a book or podcast, doing social media, etc.) Why is it we wonder why we are not where or whom we want to be? Why is it we want the easy way, when it leads to everything lesser? Why is it we only turn to the Lord, and/or His Word (the Scriptures; the Bible) when it is convenient?

Waking slowly

It has been years since I was in bed until 740 in the morning.  Today is destined to be a busy housecleaning day. So I decided to be kind to myself and do be lazy and wake slowly, which I never do. I realize I need it for my health. And who can't resist snuggling longer with a cat? And a husband?  Life is good. I have been listening to our windshield. Sunlight enters through the blinds.  The ceiling fan hums. Grey cat is warm and just buried her face on/in my shoulder.  What blessings. Thank You, Lord. You are here. Present. Working. Orange cat, claws clicking across vinyl plank floor: 'You alive?' He's checks on me and reminding me I owe him his snuggles, too. Guess I need to go make coffee and get in the Word and snuggle with Orange. Glory. You are so good, Adonai (God).
