I could say a lot but, the way my heart is set up...
Tragedy and injustice has always existed, in every culture and every generation. The difference between now and generations before is that we are more privy to each instance and matter AS it happens. Our technologically driven world just amplifies the world as it is.
Our technologically driven world also amplifies this about us: Far too many of us are people full of too many words and emotion and too little actual action. We often don't do much beyond our FB posts and Tweets.
Now more than ever, it is detrimental for us to practice emotional discipline, finding ways to direct our energy towards positive change that we can all grow from.
Darkness has always been and will always be. This is why it is ever so important for us to be led by light and BE the light. Let our words be life giving and our lives be light giving!

From the archive: 1/30/11 - I woke up feeling quite
disappointed in myself. From my excessive use of blue cheese dressing to my failure
to write consistently, I've been slippin'...
Layered in between the blue cheese and my loss
of significant use of words you can find too much sleep and not enough prayer.
Over-eating and lack of cardio...
It is believed that it takes 21 days to form a
new habit - whether that habit be good or bad. I have found this to be true,
which is why it is detrimental to our continued growth that we not "wait
til Monday" to go back to the gym or the beginning of the month to start
eating right.
If it takes 21 days for a new habit to be
formed, NOW is as crucial as ever. Although I woke up disappointed for various
reason, I can't allow myself to remain disappointed for too long. NOW, not
tomorrow, not next week, NOW is the time to take an honest assessment, shake
off the disappointment and keep it moving.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to
those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but
according to the Spirit."
Romans 8:1 shares a great promise to those who
are in Christ. Now to just STOP walking according to my flesh...self-control in
every area...
Every day that we wallow in what we didn't do
yesterday is throwing God's gift of today back in His face!
TODAY is what we have. Shake of the habits that
keep you bound in disappointment and GO FORTH in the gifts of grace and mercy
that we receive with each new day!
