But this I do know. God is working in my life right now in huge ways. I am learning and growing in ways I haven't experienced in years. How I choose to spend my time is determining how much I allow God to teach me. I spend too much time seeking my own pleasures and almost no time seeking Him. I am tired of my complacency and I want more. More of Him, more of His power, more of His Spirit. I want to live mightily and fearlessly. I want to see Him work miracles through me. I want to hear His voice and walk so closely with Him that our conversation never stops. I want to be fully prepared to celebrate Easter, because it's the reason my life has meaning and joy and fulfillment. I know all too well that if I'm not careful, it will be here and gone with nothing more than a Sunday morning service. I want to anticipate. Contemplate. Feel. Hear. Embrace. Experience.
This is my journey for the next forty-some days. I am giving up watching tv at home and replacing that time with blogging, praying, seeking, reading. I am at a crossroads and have been for quite some time. I can see what is before me, but I won't get there until I die to self and run forward, casting off to the right and left everything that hinders. Until I immerse myself in the Word and in prayer, I won't reach the full spiritual potential for which God has created me. He has equipped me recently with everything I need for this journey. I know I'm not going to get it right all the time. I'm going to mess up, not do enough, be enough, say enough. But oh, His grace! I am committing to set my eyes on Him, take one feeble step after another, and let Him do the rest. I am desperate not to miss this.
