The Funnel

Whyyyyy are bad habits so hard to break and yet good habits so easy to break!?!?  

Allow your 8 year old child to skip brushing their teeth before bed ONE TIME due to crazy unforeseen circumstances….they will NEVER brush their teeth again….EVER!!!  Buttttttt drive thru a remote ice cream store 50 miles from home and you/your children will crave that treat every day!!

I headed out the other day, all prayed up.  I had heard from God and was assured of Him leading me where I was going.  I was ready!!!  Until I was waiting at a red light and one teeny tiny thought crept in….fear took hold….doubts flared….and faith had gone out the window.  What happened?!?  I felt like I was sliding around and around the mouth of a funnel, spiraling down down down…..

BUT GOD!  I could sense Him calling me back to our quiet time of prayer that morning.  I had to choose to stop the spiral.

I leave you with a favorite child-like verse.  May you remember to cling to its simplicity to keep you out of the funnel and resting under the shadow of the Almighty.

“Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”  Romans 12:9
