Never enough time

So when I decided to start a blog in October of last  year, I honestly thought it would be easy to at least write one a day.  I mean after all I sit at a computer all day, everyday.  Finding a few minutes to spit out some words would be easy.  But just like most things that I want to do, I don't do.  Why is that? What about the human condition makes it so easy to just not do the things we most want to?  I want to run...but I find every excuse in existence and create quite a few new ones to just not even pick up my feet.  I want to lose weight, and yet I find reasons to nibble my way through thousands of daily calories.  Or maybe I want to stop swearing or watching so much tv or whatever the goal/desire/dream....but I just don't. 

It reminds me of some verses in the Bible that talk about wanting to do right and not being able to because our flesh is so weak.  (Romans 7)  Weak is just the right word for it.  Weak means lacking in strength.  Strength is a solidness that keeps you standing...you know the old adage..if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything...so it is with my intentions. i have them but i am not strong in them so i fall for my very own excuses.  i am the very reason He sent His Son.  I am the one in need of a helper...I am so very thankful that I have no need to be strong since in fact there is one who is stronger than me who stands for me! To access that strength I need only ask. 

Too bad asking for help is not one of my best attributes- just ask my husband - just ask my father - just ask the one who made me!
