My Faith Looks Up To Thee

Faith is a choice, not a feeling. No really. It is. I don't always feel like believing and having faith but I make a choice. Because feelings are fickle and unreliable. In Jeremiah it says that the heart is deceitful and beyond cure, who can understand it? Well God understands our hearts, he's the only one because he's the one who created it. What is deceitful about our hearts? They run on feelings and feelings are fickle. We can't base belief on feelings, we have to override our feelings and choose. So I choose and my faith looks up to HIM. He is my strength, he is my zeal, he is my everything especially when my feelings threaten my choices. How about you? Have you been able to order an override or have you been living off of feelings? I encourage you, I pray that you will make the choice to allow your faith to look up to HIM.

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.
