I am sitting here on the couch, waiting. I am waiting for multiple things.
1. I am waiting for Caleb to get home so I can see how his first day at work went.
2. I am waiting for Donovan to wake up so we can go for a walk.
3. I am waiting on a call from the Realtor because there is a house we would like to look at.
4. I am waiting on myslef to snap out of my spiritual mediocrity.
Numbers 1-3 are very reasonable things to wait for during the day. Number 4 should not be happening in my life. What exactly am I waiting for? I can guarantee that God is not going to write me a message in the sky telling my to get my rear in gear and start reading and studying and learning like I should be. He is not going to come knock on my door and give me a list of addresses of people that could use a visit. He is not going to mail me a letter encouraging me to memorize Scripture and pray more often. So, that leads me back to my question...why am I waiting for that?! I guess I have reached a level of complacency. I am perfectly comfortable with where I am at now which is a very dangerous place to be in. In fact, it is so dangerous that I am saying right now that I am not going to be stuck in this rut any longer. I am going to take proactive steps to enriching my Spiritual life and becoming the Christian that I should be.
I have learned that it is easy to look at everyone else and feed off of them. If nobody else is really pumped about their Spiritual walk, then I am not going to be very pumped about it. But, when thinking about this cycle, I am going to try to make myself the motivator. Hopefully people will be able to feed off of my excitement and motivation for God.
Donovan is waking up, so I need to run, but I encourage you all also to consider your Spiritual walk and no matter where you are, bump it up a bit.
