"Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!" (NLT)
"Stay alert; be in prayer so you don't wander into temptation without even knowing you're in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there's another part that's as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire." (the message)
There's a part of me that is a big dreamer. I have so many ideas of what i can be for God, what i will become, what i WANT to become, what i want to do in the future, but lately i've been really challenged. "what have you done so far to reach your goals?"
A year ago, if i felt this kind of...dilemma, i would never tell anybody nevermind post it on my blog, but the Lord has really blessed me with confidence to be transparent this summer....
So back to the topic. I really am ashamed because i feel like all i've been doing is talking blah blah blah. I need to stop. I need a break, from people that i talk to or try to impress with my "big ambitions".
I need some alone time to think about what is realistic, what the Lord has blessed me with (spiritual gifts), where my passions really lie and where He is leading me to.
I need to get upclose and personal with God.
I need DISCIPLINE.
I need alone time.
I need to shut up and listen to Him.

:) i was thinking about devo-ing it at starbucks today, and remembered you. keep pressing on gendi! discipline = a continual thing to build, and remember that one failure doesn't mean a complete failure. in my health psych course, we learned that relapse is actually a part of the recovery/lifestyle change process. applies usually to stuff like quitting smoking (sheeh gendi, stop smoking behing the church!), but i think it can apply here as well! take heart!
