back to working out - soul stretching


Yeah, I'm not talking about the working out where I register for a race and plot out some workouts for the next couple months. I'm talking about the working out that happens in your heart and soul. When you have to face yourself all the good parts and the ugly parts and really discover what is keeping you from connecting with God and why God created you and me.

As the fall begins, I don't want to lose touch of those important issues stirring in my heart and I am again soul-searching. I've realized that I'm at a stage in my spiritual walk that needs to be updated, spruced up, cleaned up...

:: try out a new church community, small group, and meet other humble people searching for God

:: put in the time to fix what I need to fix instead of constantly consuming and criticizing my surroundings and situations

:: connect with creation and realize that God is the ultimate creator (nothing that we can do can fulfill all the desires in our heart) and we are created for God and by God

:: the sooner I see how serious this relationship with God is the sooner I can come to terms with handling myself the way I was originally intended to (what is God's role in my life? what does God want me to do?)

So, here's to another week of fall. I hope to find time to really renew my commitments to God - our only one true perfect love...
