Been A While

I think that this has been the longest that I have gone without writing in a long time. Usually I have been keeping up with it one or two times a week. I think when I hit a plateau with my spiritual growth (right after a rockin week) I tend to go longer without blogging.

My spiritual life as well as probably alot of others (I guess seeking God in general) its alot like what I think climbing mt. Everest. There is no way that I could go tomorrow and make it to the top. There are probably very few people that could safely make it very far alone and with no training. Also because of the change in altitude its almost impossible to do it all in one shot. That\’s why they have base camps for you to stop at. Get acclimated to. And then train for you next stretch towards the top. For me it think that from a spiritual perspective i am stopping at alot of base camps along the way. The climb is hard. By the more and more that I climb the farther and farther between the base camps that it is. Less often am I plateauing. And the more climbing i am doing. I hate base camp tho. I feel content with my spiritual walk and I don\’t want to be. I feel arrogant and I hate that feeling.

I have been reading proverbs 3 and I have seen nothing. Part of the reason is that I haven\’t been looking very hard. I haven\’t been reading it with the mindset to learn or hear anything. That arrogance shines through again. My mind has been distracted by other thoughts and selfish desires so that when something does want to break through it is quickly choked out by some ridiculous thought in my mind. This blog is weak but the next two day I will read with intent and on Friday I will have learned something from God\’s word that is unique to my life and something that I can apply. God help my to be less distracted.
