excuses

When the truth hurts, count on your kids to speak it.

It’s Monday morning; I’m on the couch with my readers on and my Bible in my lap. Brian comes up the stairs and glances my way.

Brian: “You haven’t done that in a while.”
Me: “Yeah, I got off track over spring break, and then was sick last week.”
Brian: “Excuses.”
Me: (speechless)

Brian summed up the past few weeks for me with one word. It sure is hard to write about intimacy with God when you are not investing quality time with God. When you don't hear from me for a stretch of time, it’s either because I have nothing to say or I’m too busy to say it. These past few weeks have been a combination of both. I could give you a list of reasons, but they are only excuses.

Know the feeling; I'm good at this, too! God is always waiting for us to come to Him though.

Thanks for your honesty. We're all there at some point or another. So quit the excuses already :)
