Commitment

I'm really good at setting goals, but not overcoming them. It has become more important to me to really spend time with God. I wake up in the morning and know I need to read my Bible and that is where the problem comes up. It shouldn't be a need to, but a want to.

Don't get me wrong, I love my quiet time with Jesus...Spending time in the Word and learning more and more. I wake up in the morning, though, and I have to force myself to not roll back over or just get up and go on with busyness of the day.

Instead of saying my goal is to...I am going to purpose to wake up early (even though it is summer) and making time before anyone else wants my time or I get pulled into something else to read my Bible and dig into it every morning. I want to learn everything I can. I don't want to settle and just be okay with where I am in my relationship with God. I want to always be going deeper and making His voice more recognizable.

If I say it is a goal (and don't accomplish it), I get disappointed that I didn't do it. My quiet time just needs to be purposeful then it will become more of a want to and it will be part of just my life that is important to me.

I hope this makes sense and not a lot of jumbled thoughts! =)
