The last couple of days have been a mix of emotion for me. Even though I have talked to the same people I talk to every day, I feel disconnected somehow. I feel bad for them; that my attention to what they are saying is not 100%, but my mind is elsewhere. Mainly, it is on whatever conversation God and I were just having before the phone rang.
Recently I have been discontent with my prayer life. I feel like all it consisted of was me asking for things. So I have been praying for a God to change my heart. I have asked Him to give me the patience to sit and listen. I have also been praying for wisdom. Last Sunday, our pastor talked about the Foolish man and the Wise man (Cue song now: The foolish man built his house upon the sand….and the house on the sand went SPLAT!) While I did not find myself fully identifying with the foolish man, I realized I wasn’t as much of the wise man as I wanted to be.
I know this coming year is going to help me grow in that area, mainly because I am going to be learning about God in ways I could never image. But I did not want to wait to January to start. I have been consumed. And I am not at all regretful. I hope this is the beginning of something beautiful. Knowing my God, it is J
