sometimes i can be pretty stubborn
it always sucks when i go through tough times. struggling with something that's going on in life or just continuing to mess up in certain areas in my life. those times are usually when i come crawling back to God asking what i should do next. you would think that since he created us that we would want to spend as much time with him as possible. but instead i seem to spend enough time with him to learn everything. or so i think anyways. so i can go out on my own and try to live my life on my own. only to come crawling back realizing that i don't know everything. these are the times that i begin to realize what it takes for God to get my attention away from the tv or my busy lifestyle. sometimes it takes just a moment of silence to get my attention while other times he really has to hit me with a struggle or bring someone into my day to help me realize how much he really means to me. but i guess this is one area that God has made me realize and i am trying to work on.

Hey Jord, I hope you don't think it's lame that I comment on your blog... but I think what you're writing is really cool and true.
I feel the same way--though I've tasted the goodness and richness of God, it seems sometimes that I almost avoid Him. Why is that? (Don't worry, you don't have to answer that). :)
But I guess if it was easy, everyone would do it. And sometimes it's the struggle and pressing on that makes meeting with God that much sweeter.
finally something worth reading on here. cause you know, your last post wasn't really. good post though. i also find it hard to drag myself away- or easily distracted by so many things in this world. but through everything god is still there, lucky for us.
i seem to almost always feel like this. i want so badly to work everything out on my own, to use what i've learned and go out and conquer the world, but one thing i never learn is that I can't do that without God. I'm often reminded of it, but how often do i actually apply it? it's frustrating but it's also really cool that God keeps bringing us back to him, even when we continue to mess up.
I really appreciate your open-nes and honesty in this post Jordan. The practice of God's presence throughout any given day is, in my opinion, the most difficult discipline of the Christian faith. And it's even crazier to think that we can only succeed in spiritual disciplines by God's grace. Keep seeking after God, I believe He's worth it :)
