I’m Fading…….

Woah……

My world just faded a bit. My insulin shot this morning overwhelmed the skimpy breakfast I ate, and my blood sugar kinda dropped through the floor. It’s not a good feeling. You just sort of feel like you’re fading, almost to the point of fainting (if ignored, you pass out…….. or worse). Thankfully I stay prepared for this little eventuality, and a couple of fast acting glucose tablets perked me right up.

Dumb. Just plain dumb. I’ve been a diabetic for over a decade now. I know the drill….. the right kind of food, in the right amount, and spaced out over regular daily intervals. Come on, Terry. Could it be any easier?? And yet I still mess up.

This morning’s episode was different – the Lord spoke something into my spirit. I’ve been noticing lately that my faith-walk hasn’t been as fresh as I want it to be……I’ve been feeling a little faded.

Eureka, man!

Now…… What’s the drill?? The right kind of food…… that would be the Word of God, right? In the right amount……it’s not necessary to read a book in the Bible daily. Spread out over daily intervals….. I function best (and feel faded less) on a morning and evening kind of schedule. Ten or fifteen minutes in the morning and again in the evening, followed by some meditation on the short passage(s) I’ve just read. For me, prayer and praise generally follows.

And I don’t do it mechanically …… I do it because I love Jesus.

And I suppose the Holy Spirit is my glucose tablets……. He perks me right up!

No more skimpy breakfasts and….

NMF….. No More Fading.
