Life. It's amazing, but it's tough.

This afternoon some very important people in my life hit me over the head with a two-by-four. It's a shame they had to do it, but all too often I need a kick in the ass to get me moving. Thanks, Lord, for letting them do it in a very kind and generous way.

Please keep me in your prayers. I'm mostly over the easy part of realizing that they were 100% correct in what they said, but the hard part is following through. It will be a great excersize, though, in perseverance and endurance, because I realize I've hardly ever done something with my whole heart and mind before. But I've got to, so I will ...with your prayers and God's grace.

"...And I regret my ways
You never left
Remind me once again so I won't forget
You're never far away."
