Three posts was all it took for Satan to take a hold of me and place my wants elsewhere. Three posts ago I spoke about Pursuit. I was provided with a tab of Bible Verses to read daily. I was so encouraged and motivated when I made the decision to follow those daily readings. It wasn't much, just a chapter a day, about 15 minutes total. Needless to say, I'm over a month behind on those readings. Our flesh is so weak!
A friend mentioned to me this weekend that he was keeping up with this short-lived blog and noticed I hadn't posted anything in some time. That has been settling in my the pit of my stomach since. Wondering why I had fallen so easily? Well, I think I fell for the exact same reason that Peter fell when he stepped out from the boat. I turned my focus from God to the storm around me. Instead of focusing on the words I was reading, hearing. writing and experiencing, I was focusing on the stats of this Blog. This blog is not here to boost my moral, but to help keep me accountable for my walk with Christ. I think my first mistake is that I made a schedule to write, but you can't put our Father on a schedule. So, I don't know when I will be posting, it may be minutes from this one or weeks from it; I don't know what it will be about, all I know is that I will be posting again.

Asa, be encouraged. I first spoke with you on the My KLOVE app when you were just getting your blog started. I confess I haven't visited in awhile but I want to encourage you to keep going. I actually can really relate to this last post. It's good to know that we are not alone in the struggles we go through. Life gets in the way sometimes but don't let it stop you from continuing with what you feel God has put in your heart to do. And remember, all Peter had to do was reach out to Jesus and He saved Peter from sinking. Maybe your blog is meant to reach out to those in need of a hand from Jesus.
