You won't relent

I'm super thankful that God doesn't walk away from me when I am not responsive to him.  I'm so grateful that he pursues me even when I am not pursuing him.  And I am so glad that my voice reaches his ears and heart no matter when I speak and no matter how long it has been since I have spoken with him. 

Have you ever asked God to relent with you?  To give up on you or give up on a course of action you feel he wants you to do?  God does not and cannot and will not relent!  WHY?  So many times I ask why?  Just give me a break God (yep, insert whine into that phrase).  God doesn't relent because he sees what I cannot, he knows what I don't.  If my life was a huge painting the difference in God's perspective and mine is this: he sees the whole painting, I see about 1/8 of a centimeter of it.  That's the reality.  And that's why God won't relent. 

I'm glad he won't relent when I beg and plead.  I'm glad that he knows my true heart rather than what I think my heart is saying or wanting.  I'm awed that he wants to be the fire in me.  Thank God today that he won't relent but continues his pursuit of his creation! 

You won't relent

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
