failing.

these past few months have been interesting. i have been working through a lot of thoughts, desires, emotions, convictions, and callings in my life. all in all... its been really good.

lately, however, i have fallen back into my mundane routine of barely making it through the day with a second to spare. time management problems? not neccessarily. I live life by a calendar these days and i have that pretty much under control. my life is compartmentalized. i have my school life. my soccer life. my friend life. my campus life [life]. and the one that gets pushed to the way-side all to often. my "alone time" life.

i did a spiritual practices project for one of my classes, Understanding the Christian Faith. In this project i took a few surveys and did some study on myself and realized... well mainly just verbalized on paper... i have known this for sometime that one of my greatest obstacles keeping me from a deeper, more intimate relationship with God is my busyness. no new news to me... it has been extremely beneficial though to verbalize these thoughts.

its just that. my busyness drowns out the essential part of who i am, who sustains me.

Rick always told me time after time... "Live life intentionally! Do life on purpose!"

He's got it right.... like always. haha. no but seriously. i need to return to a spirit of intentionality in all aspects of my life. no... its not this huge revelation... just an ever present reminder of what my life needs to be about... what needs to come first.

and this is the process.

and this is the sound of the underground, the whisper of history in the making. foundations shaking. revolutionaries dreaming once again mystery is scheming in whispers, conspiracy is breathing...
