Today is Friday, August 20th, 2021; Karen's Korner #4510

This morning when I woke up, my 'want to' was stuck. I didn't feel like I 'wanted to'! Nothing had changed overnight to add or detract from this feeling.

I just didn't feel like I wanted to /do' or 'think positive thoughts'. I call that the devil wanting me to sit today out!

I have a choice to vote with him. Or vote with God. I choose to vote with God. And do some things anyway. Until a positive, 'want to' feeling returns.

I really liked this morning's Max Lucado:


TIME TO STAND UP


"Life feels stuck when life makes no progress. When you battle the same discouragement you faced a decade ago or struggle with the same fears you faced a year ago. When you wake up to the same hang-ups and habits. When heartache becomes a permanent mailing address.

"Jesus sees you, my friend, and he has a new version of you waiting to happen. He says to you what he said to the man at the pool of Bethesda: 'Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!”'(John 5:8 NLT).

"Stand up. Do something. Write a letter. Apply for the job. Reach out to a counselor. Stand up. Pick up. Pick up your mat. Make a clean break with the past. And walk. Set your sights on a new destination, and begin the hike. Getting unstuck means getting excited about getting out."
