Distracted

This last month I have been so distracted. It has been a downward spiral since I have been home. At no fault but my own.

I have been home for over 4 months now. In less than 2 weeks I am off again to spend the summer in New Mexico. As I have begun to mentally, emotionally and spiritually prepare myself for this next journey I am saddened to see the state I am in. I am so far from where I started in the middle of December.

It frightens me how easily I have been distracted. By frivolous things. Things that don't matter, things of this world. The enthusiasm I had for the things of the Lord has greatly waned. I have not been as diligent as I should have been in maintaining my spiritual walk. I have easily and quickly drifted back into old patterns and habits.

I have lost focus.

The prayer of my heart in the coming two weeks before I leave for camp is to regain the Lord's focus for the remainder of 2011. The Lord has placed huge things in front of me. Huge things that I will fail at if I am not prepared.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23
