Lost Goodness

I was convicted at church yesterday to put this verse up in my car:


Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Prov 3:3

I think another version says kindness and truth. let kindness and truth never leave you.

I have been greatly lacking in this department recently, especially at work and school.

so the reminder to keep them near my heart and ever with me-i want to work on that.
today started out pretty well. i got thru my first class, and thru chapel pretty well. but by half way thru class #2 i was losing it. By class #3 i was full blown bad attitude again and didn't want to be there. unfortunate that class #3 is group therapy experience, where we share feelings and ourselves....not always the best place to be having a bad attitude.

the goodness, kindness and faithfulness had run out. perhaps a sign that i'm trying on my own. some would say i wasn't using Jesus' strength. he's hanging around tho, i know it. even in my semi crankiness. he knows i miss the crew at mhgs. he knows i've sorta taken these classes already and that i wish it was easier to make some friends at work and school that will stick. he knows i want good to be true. that i want to hope shamelessly even for the hard to love.

That trio of God-they are workin it out in me.
