Are you there God; it's me, Netta!

The mere fact that I don't have anything to blog about today is a clear indication that I haven't spent enough time communicating with my Father.

I did manage to read my daily educational, devotional, and inspirational emails. And there was one in particular that spoke to me. But I can admit that I didn't take the time or make the effort to listen to what God was truly trying to say to me.

I didn't say more than good morning to Him before rushing out the door. I am ashamed to say that I spent a good deal of time today on the go without so much as an inside joke between the two of us. So..It is no wonder that right now I feel a bit spiritually dry. And cheap. And trifling.

Appallingly I feel the need to defend myself. (Not sure if it's to God, me, or you.) In fact, I just deleted the very phrase "in my defense" because even to myself, it sounded like I was preparing to make a lame excuse. But I want to be honest with both of us..to keep this blog real. 

Though I did pray earnestly for one of my sisters today..each time I attempted to talk to God like I normally do or to study or to even praise Him in song..I allowed myself to get distracted.

Not. Good. At. All.

If someone I cared about treated me the way I've treated God today..I would have three or four hissy fits.

So. I am not blogging today. (Ha, Netta dear, what is THIS?)

I am signing off and shutting down early to make things right with my Father. After all, this blog..along with every thing else in my life..should be to His glory. Right? RIGHT!

Therefore, if I'm going to do it..I am going to do it right! I've gabbed plenty today and none of it (except one phone call) was in the true spirit of my gift.

Pray for me guys. I've got some front door sweeping to do.
