Getting back.

It has been years since I've blogged. A friend told me not too long ago that I should get back to blogging, and I was hmm-ing and haw-ing about it, and I decided to finally sit down and just do it.

I did miss it, but I felt like the world didn't want to hear about what I had to say, but you know what? Whether they want it or not, I am going to do it, because I know I at least have one follower (Psst*Erica*Psst).

For the past couple of months I have not been as strong in my faith as I was just a couple months ago. I felt myself slipping, and I knew I had to do something about it, but life happened, and next thing I knew, I was at the bottom of a cliff, looking up at the mud trail that I left as I slipped down. So here I am, standing at the bottom, wiping the mud off my shoulders, and on my way up the wall of mud.

The other day I was reading Proverbs, and these are the verses that stood out to me for one reason or another:

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails" - 19:21

"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing and your vats will brim over with new wine" - 3:9-10

"When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet" - 3:24

"I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble" - 4:11-12

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed" - 16:3

"The Lord works out everything for his own ends" - 16:4

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps" - 16:9

"Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all" - 22:2

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it" - 22:6

"A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor" - 22:9

"Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is surely a future home for you, and your hope will not be cut off" - 23:17-18

"If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength" - 24:10

"As water reflects a face, so a man's heartreflects the man" - 27:19
