faithfulness, revisited.

so after laying out a challenge on sunday to be faithful to God, and really trying hard to do the 2 things suggested (10 minutes of God time, pray for a calling), i'm finding out how hard it actually is in my world to do these 2 things!!!

God time -- fun how whenever i sit down to do this, my mind erupts with other things! i'm like a little dog, really -- here boy, fetch!!! run after this rabbit! chase that squirrel. chew on this stick. i can be so disciplined in some areas, but when it comes to actually reading my bible...driving me crazy! when i've done it, it is amazing! i love the scriptures...but those 'idols' are sure attractive!

calling -- same deal. i feel like i've found a calling (ministry), but am still praying for guidance and what that actually looks like, as the world needs all kinds of people doing ministry. and beyond that, what does God have for me, personally, family wise, etc? is there something that is blocking my ability to actually pray and then listen!?!? seems like it...

how are you all doing? man, i am amazed at how easily i get distracted from hearing my Savior's voice...mostly by my own choosing! but it guess that's why faithfulness is a gift of the Spirit (we can't always do it on our own) and is something that we have to work at when it comes to relationship with God (it doesn't come naturally).

keep moving forward...
