The three-letter word EGO can disrupt, undermine and create havoc in our faithful Christian lives.
Yet, it can become a subtle challenge or a humongous force that totally disrupts your life without you being aware. Picture a virus coursing through your veins (not visible or obvious). It twists and gnarls around and through your body and brain pushing away thoughtfully creative visions and thoughts.
Thoughts of YOU get bigger, bigger, and bigger until they take over. The space for Faith begins to be crowded out, pushed aside, squeezed into a shot glass and crammed into a dark secluded corner into sludge.
Living in FAITH is not ALWAYS sweet and cushy. It takes exercise, it takes courage to be different sometimes.
This time of year can be challenging - job hunting? Me too. Each day I continue to check into Faith -and ask - Is it there? Is it being pushed aside?
EVERYONE is getting older each day, so the following is not just for senior citizens -- our spirit, like the cells of the body, is changing continually. Faith allows us to flow and not get "stuck" in the ME.
"The Devotional Bible" by Max Lucado
2 Corrinthians:4:16-
"So we do not give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day. We have small troubles for a while now, but they are helping us gain an eternal glory that is much greater than the troubles. We set our eyes not on what we see but on what we cannot see. What we see will last only a short time, but what we cannot see will last forever."

Good morning Susan---Elly here from Binghamton NY. You out did yourself on this blog about faith. Wow thank you so much for the energy booster which it's true we need to be reminded to keep the faith and continue to realize that things happen for a reason whether the outcome we were hoping for or not.
Ego is very disruptive as I work with someone that thinks he's better than the rest of us and that makes for an unpleasant working enviroment.
Your thoughts can get bigger where it consumes you and Faith being pushed out. You know without Faith it makes for very long days.
Having Faith gives you so many more opportunities and doors that will and can be open. That's how I have been able to keep and stay positive through your blog post and keeping the faith and I created a mantra for myself that reminds me how important it is to exercise and having enough courage to stand up for yourself.
Giving up is not an option....Just be a go getter and stay strong and pray and keep the faith as God will get us through anything never close the door on God.
Your blog is a wonderful tool and thank you so much for the reminder never lose sight on faith as there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Your words are very powerful and you helped my friend realize that there is Faith and Hope.
