Dan and Luke

It is waaay past my bedtime, but I want to quickly jot down the scripture I've read lately (randomly) that I've been praying about this week .. both of these are things that I have been wanting to work on and have been making concerted efforts to aim at being present in the moment, and remember God during the day and remember these things I've read to implement them into everyday life.


(I apologize for words that may make little sense. It IS 12:46 in the am.)


First: Daniel 6:10-12. Okay, this is less about the context of Daniel and more about the actions he carries out, faithfully during the day. Daniel prayed three times, at regular intervals and I read this and remembered that I used to make more time for God, because I was on a more regular schedule. I had my time in the morning and my time and night and I never rushed, and when I read this passage, I remembered that those were important times during the day and I needed and wanted with God and I must make time again, set aside, to converse with He.


Second: Luke 17 1-6. "If your brother sins, rebuke him and if he repents forgive him. If he sins against you seven times a day and seven times, repents, forgive him." I read this and thought affectionately about God. How good is he and how spoiled, bratty and bitchy I am toward all the niceties he's graced, me. If he can be so good, I should forgive others around me. I don't want to hold anything against anyone and at the moment, I don't believe I do. But my heart does and harbors things sometimes that I am not proud of. I don't want to jump on people for their wrongdoing. I want to love people. I don't want everythng to be about me. I don't want THIS to be about me, anymore. 


I'd write more but my eyelids are heavy. More another time. :) Nighty to you.
