Good intentions

I had intended to keep up-to-date with this blog, aiming for a posting about once every 7-10 days, but as you may realise I have fallen hopelessly behind. The reason? Just too busy to sit down and be creative, and not enough time to reflect on what's happening in my own life. Although I teach all the time about the importance of working from a place of rest, and although I do practice it for the most part, sometimes my work schedule takes over and something has to give - in this case it has been my blog.

Interestingly, I still felt a little guilty for not doing it. It's not as if thousands are reading it, but it was a target I set myself and I failed. How easily we place ourselves under laws, and then when we don't measure up, allow those same laws to condemn us! As a result we lose a little of our sense of peace and our joy is diluted. That's when we have to learn to give grace to ourselves. It isn't that we have sinned and done something wrong before God; just that we have transgressed our own standard of perfection. We need to forgive ourselves and move on, doing what we can in the time available.

So here I am writing again and feeling a bit more creative. And if you don't hear from me in the next 7-10 days don't worry. It shows I'm living under grace, not law, and I'll be back at some time. be patient with me.
