the slow fade

today i ran across some words i had written in my journal...."press on, put on, abide, endure, resist, flee, trust, believe, rest, choose kindness, forgive.....then rinse & repeat...". for the past month i have been thinking about the process of the "slow fade"....that subtle process that moves us away from where we should be. what triggers the slow fade....i am sure it is different for each of us...but, i think, most often it begins with how we choose to spend our time....who we choose to listen to....and the choices we make when we think it doesn't really matter...this time. maybe it's starting your day with a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast or skipping a work-out because it is raining.....not having enough time to pray and be still each day....our choices usually always reflect what we believe....and our beliefs directly affect how we care for ourselves...physically, emotionally & spiritually. if you are not at peace chances are you are somewhere on the slippery slope of the slow fade......just something to think about...
