You know what I mean when I say jailhouse religion, right?!!!! I was watching First Week In on TLC (because I enjoy criminal justice reality TV for some strange reason) and I started noticing a trend. Individuals who get "caught up" in the justice system seems to always find their way to the Holy Bible. When they find themselves in a situation, they call on the name of Jesus. They beg and plead on their hands and knees for God to deliver them out of the "lion's den".
Well I talked to a friend this morning and when I got off the phone with her, I started praying and God convicted my heart. "Why do you pray to me only when in need? When you want me to provide for you, then you call, but what about the other days?" Well..... you should have saw the look on my face!!!! I'm so guilty!! And to make it worse, I talk down on people who do it to me!!! Don't call me when you only need money or want to borrow my car, because I'm not going to answer the phone!!!!! Conviction, CONviction, CONVICTION!!!!!! We have to do better, people....or is it just me?
God did say he would never leave us nor forsake us yet we do it to him; we do it so effortlessly! When we get into a bind, we instantly start quoting scriptures we didn't even know we knew!! LOL We start trying to convict God!!!! The audacity we have, right!!!?
Lets start incorporating God more into our lives. Not just a "Thank you God for waking me up this morning and starting me on my way", but lets start putting more feeling into thanking and respecting him. We need to spend some quality, alone time with him. Remember the song, "Quality time, with you"! I can't remember who sung that song! Either R. Kelly or Guy! Anyway, you get my point. Let's develop a friendship with God and not just a take, take take. I'm sure you'll find it more meaningful than you ever thought.

Been A While
Hello all!! I know I started off pretty well, posting everyday or at least every other day!! Since then, I have started working and started grad school and now I am realizing how much free time I had back then and how much I miss it!!!!! AAAHHHH
This new job that I will be resigning from next week (LOL) is a Night Auditor position and man oh man, this girl was not created for the night shift!!! I was doing so well getting to work on time, at 11:00 pm but tonight I overslept!!! I received a call at 11:20pm wondering were I was!! Luckily I only stay 5 mins away!!
I guess God doesn't like ugly!! LOL I had a little 'tude ...(attitude) with my husband before falling asleep so I guess that came back to bite me in the butt!!! It's so funny how we can sleep through a phone alarm but wake up on that first call after you're late!! Unbelievable!!!!
Today just isn't the day for me!! I don't feel like reading 4 chapters for class or anything!! This difference in work schedule is getting to me! I'm used to the 08:00am-4:30pm working schedule!!! This gives me time to be away from the hubby, make money, but also spend quality, family time after work! That's hard to do when I have to be sleep by 2pm and up at 10pm and he's getting ready for bed at 10. And then to top that off, I get off at 7am tomorrow then turn around and have to be back by 3pm the same day!!! Let's just pray I don't oversleep this time!!!!!
Last day of work is weekend after next!!!! Whoohoo!! I enjoyed the experience and hopefully in the future I can venture into that B&B but for now, I think I'll stick to accounting!!!
