I woke up this morning feeling like I'd rather poke my eyeballs out with sharp objects than have to eat a piece of toast and an apple, and nothing else, for breakfast AGAIN.Come on, Leigh, people are starving to death all over the world and you're whiny about toast and apples.
Yeah. I am.
(sigh)
Yep. Week 3.
When the realities of the heart start to surface and I see how selfish I really am.
Which was part of the point.
But I hate it.
I hate that my life is so self-centered.
Which is why I am placing myself in this position and asking the Holy Spirit to continue "crucifying my flesh with its passions." (see Gal 5:24)
The issue isn't that bacon, eggs, grits, apple-bran muffins and coffee are inherently evil and somehow life would be better for all if I sat around eating nothing but wheat berries in a cave for the rest of my life.
But the issue is that I am self-centered in many areas. And I want to be God-centered.
So, I am taking away things that are good but unnecessary to reveal my heart, let the Holy Spirit change me and also to make more room for God in my life.
This morning the flesh is rearing it's ugly head.
It screams "Cracker Barrel" because that's what it wants.
It's getting toast and an apple because that's what it needs.
And more than that, it needs more of God.
Happy Saturday!! :-/
