Oh goodness. I am bad at blogging! The few people that actually read this. I apologize. The thought to get on and write has been on my mind often, but it has fallen short to the ever growing list of things to do.
Lately I have been convicted of 2 things:
1. Doing things half way.
2. Not being content.
Bare with me on this...we have a kids book called Halfway Herbert by Francis Chan. It is a book geared towards kids but has slapped me in the face each time I read it. It simply talks about doing things halfway in life (ex. brushing teeth, combing hair, finishing half your work, listening to half of instructions, etc.). Anyhow, the point of the book is to allow us to realize that this is a huge problem and tends to creep in and spread into a lot of areas of our lives.
It has always been an issue for me, but I am finding that it is even more of an issue for me these days. I am not doing things fully. I am surely not doing things with ALL my heart because I am spreading it out to several things many of which are not important. I want to do things the Lord has for more with all my heart and not half way.
We say to Eli a lot....delayed obedience is disobedience. Well, that same truth applies to us in our walks with Christ. We can't obey Him half way. We can't pick and choose what we listen to. We can't hold on to certain scriptures and ignore the parts we don't feel apply to us in 2011. God wants our entire lives not just pieces. That is where I am right now. This heart wants so much more Jesus. I want to be all in for the one who has called me to Himself.
So, I am asking you...what does this look like for you? Let's talk..Let's encourage..I want to hear!
Not being content......more to come on this later!
Love you all!
