focus
i should be studying for my mid-term right now, but i can’t seem to focus on the material. my mind is racing with thoughts about us trying to develop relationships with others and thoughts about work. both of which are areas in my life that i desire change because they feel unhealthy right now. but how? dan & i have talked about various ways to get involved in the community - rec. sports, book clubs, acts of service….ect. and i’ve devised great plans on how to change my work situation. but it has been hard to transfer our focus from “planning” to “action”. i know it seems like simple stuff, invite your neighbors over for dinner or just talk to your boss about your unhappiness at work. but there is resistance. when i think about what is causing the resistance i can only come up with one answer. WE are the resistance…WE get in the way. our fear, our laziness, our selfishness, our self-esteem….. the list could probably go on for days.
but, could we reaching the point when our desire to be part of a missional community will overcome the resistance?
