habits

I read somewhere that it takes 21 days to turn an action into a habit. I took the last couple days off of writing and focusing on myself. That was a mistake. The peace in my heart started to be taken over by anger and frustration yesterday and today. It doesn't let me communicate effectively when that happens, it clouds my judgement a lot. "For you I wait all the long day, because of your goodness, Lord." I read this last night and realized I need to stop waiting for other people to make my decisions, to create peace in me, to make their own decisions so I can base mine on their lives. I have to wait for the Lord to show me the way, the path to take. That doesn't mean sit around and do nothing! That means work on changing my heart, work on my habits, and wait and listen to what He has to say and look for the doors He will open. So to keep the peace, to keep the joy, to keep the love in my heart I am starting a 3 week challenge. To read my She Read Truth devotional daily, to pray daily, to write here in this space daily. Thinking about it I freak out a little because I am already thinking about the days I will slip up, but if I take this one day at a time I will do it!
