I have found myself to be pretty consistent and intentional over the years. However, since resigning from full-time ministry, I have found it increasingly harder to find (by find I actually mean "make", but find makes it sound like it's not my fault) time to get in the Bible. It was easy when it was part of my job but now that I am working outside the church, I have found it much harder. I have no problem making time to watch the basketball game...I guess that says a little about my priorities. I know the value of spending time in my Bible...I know I feel more connected to God; I know I feel more directed; I know I feel better. For whatever reason, however, I just am having the hardest time being consistent.
I'm praying I find the inner push (or maybe an outer one if need be). In looking back, my most consistent times have been when I've been in weekly accountability groups. This happened in college and over the past few years. In recent months, however, I haven't been meeting with anyone regularily. Hmmm...maybe I need to seek out some accountability. Alright, it's settled.
Striving to be authentic, real, and passionate in my faith
