Let's Get Honest!

Ok, I'm gonna go on a limb here and hope that no judging occurs. My spiritual life has not been the best lately. I'm not saying that I have been going out to "party" or turned my back on God or anything like that, but what I am confessing is that I am not taking part in that daily interaction with God. I hate it. Life has taken over in countless ways and I have allowed God to take the back burner since about February or so...and may I say, it feels so awful! During this storm I am discovering just how much I need God in my life--every single day!

As with any relationship, interaction between two parties is vital. In my situation, God is doing His part; I, however, am not. My prayer life is not as strong as it once was and I only read large chunks of scripture when it is required for my classes. Obviously, this is not good. I have found that my relationships with people are affected as well, when my relationship with God is not as strong. I am thankful for a more than understanding husband who has put up with my JUNK for the past couple months. I appreciate friends for their encouragement and prayer. Ugh, I just feel undeserving of these relationships at the moment because I feel as though I cannot return the favor. Bah...

This is where God's grace and power comes in. I know that God understands my every emotion, thought, and action. He feels my hurt that I hold inside. How beautiful is that? I know that only He can get me out of this rut and help me become "Lacey" again.

If you have any encouragement or suggestions of how to strengthen my prayer life or to get into the Word more often, please share. I have already received some suggestions from a wonderful friend that I intend to incorporate ASAP!

Thanks for letting me get all vulnerable and share a piece of my heart with you all..

God Bless <3
