emotions

Over the past couple of days, I have been thinking about my walk with God and lately its been geared towards emotions. I don't like admitting it, but it has been. I find myself only doing somethings because I feel like doing it. I feel like loving people today. I feel like serving people today. I feel like reading today. I feel like doing nothing today. I don't feel like doing homework. I don't feel like going to practice. I don't feel like ______. Now you might be thinking, "Ok Geren, thats just random stuff. I don't feel like doing things sometimes", and it might be out of context, but I remember back to when I was younger and my mom always said, "I know you don't want to do it, but you have to. I don't want to do certain things, but I know I have to do them anyways." And it may be ridiculous to some people, but I have noticed that I'm going off of my emotions. Sometimes I don't want to do something so I don't do it. I don't feel like it. But for me, those times are the hardest, but can be the easiest. In those tough times, it seems like a hard decision, but really it's an easy decision. Shout out to Nike - "Just do it." When I go to practice and I struggle through the tough times, God blesses me and I truly see his blessings.

This post might have no Biblical evidence or whatever, but I just felt like encouraging you to do the things that are hard, do them even when you don't feel like it. If that means going to church when you don't feel like it, or doing homework when you have 10 other things in your head that you could do, or loving someone when they're hating you. It's not about emotions. It's not always about what you feel like doing. It's about doing whats hard, or doing whats not normal. God will bless your hard work and diligence.

Don't know if that made any sense, but to me it did. And i'm not an english major, so my apologies for improper grammar, bad wording, etc. I just hope you learned something. Thanks for reading!
