A new project
In light of all the issues I'm having lately, I've decided to try something new by way of something old. I know that God is asking me to put more trust in Him right now than ever before. Admittedly, I don't like it because it means I have work to do. I can be a hard worker, but for the most part, when given a choice, I choose laziness. I'll choose Solitaire over cleaning the house every time. I'll choose watching a basketball game over reading the Bible. I'm forever seeking shortcuts and ways to make things easier on myself. I don't know if that's a by-product of my parents and myself pushing me through high school and college. Near the end of my college career, I was definitely starting to burn out on working so hard. Once I had a job and started settling into the next phase of life, I quit working hard for other things. Since my job itself comes pretty easily to me, working hard at it isn't difficult. But when it comes to making changes to myself, things that God asks, I balk. I want it all to come easy. Obviously, that's not how life goes. We either work to change or we don't. And if we don't, well, we probably end up where I am right now: Mad that God won't do the work for me and make my life easier.
So I'm starting with something very basic. I'm going to look up the words lazy and work in a Bible concordance and I'll record what the Bible says about those things. I need to see what God's Word says so that maybe I'll learn something about breaking out of these awful habits that affect every area of my life. I'll do my best to keep y'all posted on what God teaches me.
