A month later…

Alright… I know it’s a month into the new year. I had a plan (a New Years resolution if you will) to blog weekly. Way to start off the year Marc by not achieving your goal. You might not be thinking that, but I am. I feel disappointed in myself somewhat because it seemed like a small step to getting more into blogging. Once a week should not be difficult at all.

Let me take this disappointment, that I feel, one step further (that’s actually an understatement) on a completely different goal that I had/have. So blogging once a week wasn’t that bad but… well, let me just ask you this:

How many times/days/minutes/hours a week do spend in dialog with God?

Of course that’s a hypothetical question… well publicly it is. But personally answer that for/to yourself. I find myself going back and forth, almost trying to rationalize the reasons what the answer(s) is(are). Well prayer on Wednesday morning… church on Thursday nights… those count, right? If we’re trying to answer this by rationalizing or making excuses or picking times that aren’t exactly part of what should be a prayer-life then we’re getting it all wrong.

I think the question should really be: Do I have personal dialog with God?

Again I almost find myself giving the same answer as the first question but there are only two answers: Yes or No.

It’s not too late to start. He wants it. He wants you to want it. He wants you to want to want it. And He’s also not disappointed in you if you’re not. So don’t get down on yourself (self-pep talk). But don’t wait.

Just to make you leave a comment… What were your New Years resolutions? How have you been doing with them?

1 Thought so far - Tell me what you think

  1. Good words my friend. My one resolution was to be consistently consumed with God. I would say that my relationship and personal dialog has much improved over the past month, and I’m so happy about it. But my desire for consistency has yet to be quenched. I do take great joy in the fact that He has taken me to a new level though! And I will continue to seek him as passionately as I can. keep it up amigo!
