Where am I? Oh yeah… Midland Michigan, the “Sleep Inn”. But I can’t sleep in, because this morning I’m going to teach 25 3rd year students for MSLI (Michigan Student Leadership Institute).
Good morning Lord! Morning! Many of my pause experiments have slipped out of use lately, but not my waking prayer. I always remember the waking prayer!
I surrender this day to you, Father. Help me do everything You call me to do today! Please work through me today as I teach… as you teach teenagers how to hear My voice?… uhh…yeah… even though you haven’t been listening very well to My voice lately? Hmmmm… good point. How can I even teach about this when I skipped my own morning quiet time almost every day this week?
But hey, I was sick most of the week. Okay.
And I played basketball so early in the morning. Really, I thought you were sick…
Well, not every day. Hmmm.
Okay, no more lame excuses; just confession.
I’ve kind of checked out lately; sort of like living life in a partial sleep state. Not totally asleep spiritually, but certainly napping a lot. I have not pursued You with a passion lately. I’m sorry. I want to change that. I’m ready to live fully awake again. I’m glad.
