I'm grateful for instructions because without them I would be at a loss about a whole bunch of things! Instructions have been a lifesaver when assembling furniture, neither the hub or I have the instincts to put things together without some instructions. Instructions have been super helpful when installing electronic things. Recipes are instructions and I'm not creative enough to just cook, I need a recipe and then can rock it. Pretty much my life is surrounded by instructions and I'm so grateful! The most important instructions in my life, however, are those of God's word. Without his instructions I am at a complete loss. Floundering is an understatement if his instructions weren't part of my life and available to give me direction and foundation. His instructions in the Old Testament that shaped the further instructions in the New Testament give me abundant life. (Btw, did you know that the word "law" for the Torah and OT passages is a bad translation? The more accurate translation is "instructions". Kinda changes things when that word is the one used to read the OT, you might want to try it!) What kind of instructions have you been grateful for?
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.
