I was so impressed with myself tonight because it was 10:45 p.m., and I was ready to go to bed. For the past few months, I swear I haven’t gone to sleep before 12:30 a.m. because I haven’t felt tired, which is TERRIBLE for being a basic, productive adult during the day. Tonight was finally going to be the night I change!
Lol not hardly seeing as it’s 11:58 p.m. at the time of me writing this, that didn’t happen. And there it is…I have stayed up tonight’s because I don’t know what the hell I want to publish. But because I know I have to write something (Lent, ammiright), I have dug deep each night…and wow, I have a lot to say!
Deutoronemy 8:5-6 says, “5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you. 6 Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him.”
There have been so many times I’ve wanted to end this commitment of writing every, single day, but I see the benefit of keeping up a discipline. Yes, my writing has had the chance to flourish and I’ve been able to take more risks, but more than anything, it’s proved to me that sticking with ventures that bring me closer to Christ are worth the investment. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to give my brain the rest for which it keeps asking…
Food for thought: what’s a spiritual discipline that comes naturally to you? Is more difficult?
