Powering Out of a Drift

Brand new week for me. Kids have been out of school for the last two days so today feels like a Monday. Going to sit down and evaluate where I will head for the rest of this week. I have found that when I fail to think purposefully and plan accordingly, my life drifts meaninglessly. I have all of the meaning in the world in a leatherbound book on my coffee table. It is my Bible. I want to base the rest of my week on its teachings. I want to bathe my mind in its truth, washing away the ugly dirt of self, the world and the devil.

The word "drift" is frequently applied to cars that are going so fast the drivers lose control a little bit (I know this from overhearing video game talk). The car that "drifts" is really just sliding sideways. Not only is the driver not heading forward anymore, he or she is out of control and the car (along with the laws of physics) is making the decisions for awhile. I do not want my life to live itself. I do not want to end up somewhere by accident. I want to go where He leads. Reminding myself this early morning that everything I do adds up to my life. Need His help, His power, His direction this morning.
