Self-accuse

The Lord had a word with me this morning. I've had an inkling that there was something a little less "superficial," if you will, that He wished to deal with me about, but I kept pushing that to the back of my mind, thinking I had more pressing things I had to focus on first. But this morning, I realized I needed a little reorganization of my priorities list. So, I'm going to direct more of my attention on myself, and give the ax to any thoughts that may creep in my mind about someone else.

Joh 8:7

When they persisted in questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, "Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

Rather than allowing myself to be quick to judge others, I need to first judge myself. I most certainly am not without my own faults, and I never have claimed to be. But I need to be more understanding. Even though I don't often vocalize the "problems" I have with others and their behaviors, I still let those thoughts enter my mind. The key there is that those are my problems - not theirs (even though they are brought about by the behavior of others), and as such, I need to concentrate on dealing with those problems with myself rather than trying to fix theirs.

So what am I going to concentrate on this weekend? Baking a birthday cake for my mom! :0) I can't wait to suprise her with that... and I have another trick up my sleeve for her too! I hope to have pictures to share sometime next week, and I hope that I am left with some time for the horses this weekend! I feel terrible that they haven't gotten my 100% full attention in my "free time" away from work but life has been crazy! (And I'm NOT complaining about it either - I'm thankful for each and every moment!)

Have a GREAT weekend!

Blessings,
