I've really been focusing more on devotions and prayer for this Mission's trip. Before, I used to be anxious about not really knowing what I'll be doing there, but now I'm slowly accepting and even embracing what's to come.
I remember reading on Elaine's blog about how mediocrity and laziness have no place in the Christian life. In other words, it is sin and by that, abhored by God. So, if I'm kicking it up a notch on my prayers and devotions now, what exactly was I doing beforehand? What does going to a foreign country have to do with the effort I put into my spiritual walk? I probably need a good kick in the pants to get me jump started.
On a seperate note, I left work at 7 pm two days in a row.

What really matters is that when we reach the crossroad, where we can choose to be closer to Christ or remain stagnant, which way do we choose?
Do we choose to kick it up a notch? Or do we think it is too hard/not worth it/too much work and stay the same.
In the end, it is in the heart that matters...and I don't use this as a n excuse for not trying.
What really scares me is the question if I remain stagnant, is Christ really all that glory and grace that I testify? Scary indeed.
