A Child of God: How is that relationship going?

Good morning world.  The past couple of days have been soul searching days for me.  I have listed the roles I play and then got challenged to forget those roles and list who I really am.

 My dear friend texted me after reading yesterday's blog to tell me I forgot one on that list.... I am beautiful.  My response was I was not feeling that way and had not even thought about that attribute.

There are some days I feel pretty, others cute, and even a few beautiful.  I am talking outside looks.  Inside???   When I consider the first on my list of roles I am in life, then I would have to say yes, even inside because I am a child of God.

I am His daughter.  I have been adopted, grafted into His family due to the shed blood of Jesus.  He is mine and I am His.  Because of this alone, I should be rejoicing daily!  However, because I am human, I let emotions and circumstances get in the way.

In my resolve to do better with this, I will get back to more than just daily devotions (which honestly have not been happening daily either).  The boys are in Ephesians in school.  What a better book in the Bible to start reading on a daily basis.

Prayer life has waned too.  This is hard to admit.  Why?  Because I want to be thought of as a good Christian who reads her Bible and prays on a daily basis.  Just because I have not been, does that make me a bad Christian?  No.

So not only daily prayer, but I am going to start a prayer journal again.  Yes, again.

Before I sign off, here is the eating plan update.  Yesterday I did really good.  Drank almost the right amount of water.  AND stuck to what I am suppose to be eating.  Had a hugh salad last night.  No junk.  No extra snacks.  Woke up feeling pretty good.  Even dropped a couple of pounds over the weekend.  A good start if you ask me.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,

Elizabeth
