out of shape
so lately at lacrosse practice coach decided to change my posistion, where i wasn't play much anyway. he moved me to center where you play both offense and defense and run lots. compared to normally just a good sprint occasionally and then scoring unoccasionally. so i was so used to just not running, so when i had to play center i realized how out of shape i was. i got so comfortable with not running that when i needed to i wasn't able to perform with all my abillity.
and because i like metaphors, im going to use this.
i was not playing a lot and playing a postion that didn't require much running so when we have to run the mile each practice i did it cause i had to, but i felt like there was no need so i wouldn't need to run my hardest when i played. so when i was neeeded to run a lot i wasn't in shape.
this is a lot how it works with me and God. a few months ago, god was really using me in various ways, but then all that kind of dwindled away, and i didn't see any big ways of being of use so when i would read my bible and what not, i felt like i did when i was running, no need if im not going go out and expierence what im preparing for. this is a bad attitude. lately some important and serious matters have come into my life where i feel like God wants to use me. but im out of shape. if in my not usage time i was seriously giving growing all my all, i would have developed the wisdom and good junk to help me now. so we need to be on our toes even when we feel like God isn't using us and be ready, so when we hit the field we won't be out of shape.
like pj said do the little things now and they will prepare us for the big ones when that time comes.
