Challenge to Commit
I went to a praise and power on sunday and one of the topics that praise and power leader talked about was commiting ourselves towards God in the coming school year regardless of how busy our lives get. It's been less than two weeks into the school year and already I find I'm having trouble doing just that.
It seems like there are so many opportunities open to me just waiting for the taking. So many choices to make that can have long term consequences. So many things to decide without nearly enough time to think it through. So many DISTRACTIONS. I'd like to try and do it all, but I can't. Something has to give. Already, when I've acknowledged that living for myself is a dead end, no sooner do I revert back to my old ways.
This leads me to the KCCF's theme this year, discipline. It's actually a very relevant theme to me personally because it's something I've struggled with all my life regardless if you equate discipline to being a routine or discipline being a commitment. Either way call it my most glaring weakness. I have more than enough trouble trying to maintain a steady commitment to everything. This year already is testing me to the limits on everything imaginable and I can't forsee it getting easier. It was the hope that focus and faith would prepare me for the tests that await but it doesn't look that way.
It shouldn't be an excuse though. Regardless of the circumstances, I have to keep running the race. These next 8 months I have to challenge myself to make commitment to discipline. A passionate commitment such that the words that I type and say to myself aren't merely just words.
