ho hum

Today sure had its ups and downs.

I got up early this morning to go running with Heidi. It went well.

I am working on getting to bed at a decent time, along with waking up early.
I just want to be productive. I don't feel like I have been productive for a long time. 

I have gotten in a habit of being so busy, I don't know what to do in my free time other than vegging out. That has got to stop. I am 18 in 12 days.

God has really laid on my heart to really step into the calling of adulthood. Which means spending my time, money, and energy wisely. I don't want to spend the beginning of my adulthood still acting like a child.
I see so many "adults" around me still operating out of immaturity and foolishness. That will not be me. The Lord has put a sense of seriousness on my heart for this year. That means I need to get down to business and operate in the maturity and discipline that the Lord has for me.

I also will be praying for peers who are sensing the same calling.

The Lord is rising us up into true biblical christianity. I believe he's going to separate us from this consumerist, cultural Christianity, and is going to lead us into true worship and communion with the father.
Why? Because the only thing that is going to renew us is divine experience with the Lord of Lords.
Why are we letting the novelties of Christian living preoccupy us? Why are we wasting so much time on the wrapping paper and ribbons and bows, when we have this amazing gift of relationship with the father?
The only thing that is going to give you peace of mind is a meeting with him. There are no shortcuts.
