Slow it Down!

Some of you that check my blog from time to time have noticed that I haven't written anything in quite some time. The reason I haven't written in so long is because I haven't really been staying in the Word. I have been doing so much stuff and hanging out with various people that I haven't taken the time to slow down and focus on the Lord. I am seeing how this is affecting my life in so many ways. I was sitting in my room with Blakely and she pointed out that I was in a bad mood. I knew I was in a foul mood, but I didn't really have a reason to be. I sat there for a moment and thought about what was bothering me. I couldn't come up with anything that I could really justify. When I really thought about it and was honest with myself, it was because I wasn't focusing on the Lord. This morning in college class, Brad said something tat really caught my attention. He was talking about how we really need to meditate on the Word. By this he meant that we need to slow down, read, and really ponder on the importance of a passage in the Bible. I have been so "busy" doing a whole lot of nothing. Really, I have had plenty of time, but I haven't been giving the Lord the attention that He deserves. Whoever is reading this, please keep me in your prayers that I will have a thirst for the Lord and slow down and take the time to focus on Him. From now on, if you notice I haven't written in a long time, chances are, I need your prayers because I am going through something and I am not focusing on the Lord. When you aren't growing, you're dieing.
