Spiritual Food Please...

I woke up too early this morning. :(
Yesterday I slept later than I normally do and this morning I am awake and it is still dark outside. Go figure. I wish my inner time clock would make up it's mind what it wants to do. Nothing else in me lately seems to be on the same page and I am beginning to think I need to hire a new director in charge of Elaine. Fire the old one and let's get some new blood in here!

Among my inconsistencies is my inability to make up my mind if I am hot or cold.... or even if I am happy or sad. One minute I am laughing and the next I am crying. I have twenty projects going at once and none have a finish date on them. My usual, escape from reality fix isn't working either. As of last night I have four books I am juggling depending on my mood and there are prospects for more.

Food seems to be pretty safe... I seem to like all of it! Wouldn't you know ....the one thing that seems to be in good working order isn't proving to be too heathy. So I find myself nibbling on Snapeas ( a questionable healthier option to tortilla chips... and you know what that means!) ....Instead of strong northern coast English cheddar, I am settling for a few blueberries instead of peach cobbler and home made vanilla ice cream. What's wrong with that picture!

Sounds like it is time for a little morning prayer and meditation. As I was pondering on where to start.... and I might add gone from blazing hot to freezing cold ( time to turn off the 3 fans I have on hyper drive) ....a little spiritual food seemed in order and just the boost I would need to get things going this morning to tackle the day ahead of me. No way to do that without some spiritual strength.

The Word of God is often described as spiritual food and all the sustenance we need. There is no way to conquer daily battles if we are hungry or starving. (Not just foodie talk here folks... I am talkin' inner strength stuff ). The best remedy for that is to feed daily on God's Word. It has everything we need in it to fill and nourish us so that we can grow in spiritual strength.
It says in Colossians 3:16, “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly." I don't know about you but I am going to partake! Have a blessed day! :)
