The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock...

hey guys! So this will be my first time posting on here. I know that I should have been posting stuff on here every week, but I honestly didn't make time to add it into my crazy schedule. Since I have not been sharing what I have been learning as the weeks have gone by I will tell you a little about it now...

...when we got back from the training weekend I was totally stoked for the summer and on fire for Jesus, but because of that weekend I got super behind in my school work and I spent what felt like an eternity catching up. Even though I was still able to do my quiet times I was not able to get on here. I was growing for several weeks but I eventually crashed because I was not giving the stress of my daily life to God...for a few weeks now I have simply been doing my quiet time out of habit, but I had not been growing nor had I been trying to, I had become complacent. I went from not having enough time to spend with God to not trying to spend time with God. I was fine where I was at and it was pretty comfortable. It wasn't until tonight when I was doing my quiet time that I realized my complacency. I realized that I was writing in my journal about wanting to be what God wants me to be, but I wasn't acting on it, I wasn't trying to be that person. I was building my house on a foundation of sand, not taking the time to dig in and find a spot where my foundation would be firm. From the realization of my complacency I have decided to tear down my comfortableness and dig deeper and deeper into God's word. I want to continue digging until I find myself completely uncomfortable because it is through this uncomfortableness that I grow and find my true strength that rests in Christ Jesus alone. Although I am not looking forward to being uncomfortable, I am looking forward to growing and finding strength in God.
