With constant attention toward God and his presence in my life, I no longer crave the things I used to. Things like...<BR/><BR/>tv (hooked on reality shows) and all manner of visual treats.<BR/><BR/>politics (please...I'm over it, and I'm not impressed by anyone!).<BR/><BR/>myself (again, I'm over it, and most days, I'm not impressed at all).<BR/><BR/>All manner of "things/people" that used to attract my time and end up sucking the life out of me. <BR/><BR/>I know that the Holy Spirit's presence within is shaping my heart and mind for the things of God. I'm so much quicker to pick up on when the enemy is trying to draw me in. I still have a long way to go, but I am not the same person I was, even a few years ago. Thanks be to God, I'm not all that I'm going to be. <BR/><BR/>I just keep pressing in and believing God's promises to me via his Word. Effectual and powerful, indeed.<BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.com
