Bible Study

I was doing my Bible study this morning and the question asked was "Where are we sinking?"  I could not help but smile because I know I had just talked about this in my blog yesterday.  My struggles are really not that much different then the struggles of others but they are MY struggles.  They are MY things that I need to figure out how to clean up and overcome.  By coming to God in prayer, I know that I am making the right choices and moving forward in the right direction.  The largest thing I have to remember at the moment is that I need to remember to step back and go to God the moment I feel myself slip into poor behaviors, the moment I feel myself slipping off the path.  That's the hard part.

I have prayed often this morning.  I read something on Facebook and felt the jealousy rising.  I immediately turned to prayer.  It helps.  It does not mean that my thoughts don't wonder back there and I don't feel jealous again.  It just means that for that moment in time I've been able to let go.  I've probably prayed for the same release of this jealousy at least 3 times already and it's been maybe 20 minutes.  I'm only human, but I'm learning to let go and to be content with what I have.  It's a process and it does not happen overnight.

I went to Haiti in October.  One of the women that went with me videoed the last evening that we were there and posted that video this evening.  It was singing and prayer in both  Creole and English.  It was amazing.  Watching the video tonight was just like I was there.  The feelings and the emotion.  I want to go back and experience this again.  I want to take everyone with me.
