Lately I've been struggling with a proper attitude towards my "pouring out" activities. I'm tired and burnt out, and I usually end up doing things with the thought in the back of my mind of "I could be doing homework right now... I could be doing laundry right now... I could be studying for a CLEP test right now." Which takes my focus off of what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. What's my problem? Well, it's a funny thing. If you stop spending time with God, you stop liking His stuff. It becomes a chore that you do because responsibility is your top trait and you can't back out of something without a really good excuse (like, getting hit by a Mac truck and being hospitalized for a month might count. Not much else). True story. So, beginning yesterday, I'm getting up at 6:15 every morning and spending some quality quiet time with God before I go running. If I don't do it then, it's too easy to skip. God doesn't ...
